Σώζεται μὲν δὴ τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον ὁ Δάφνις, δύο κινδύνους παῤ ἐλπίδα πᾶσαν διαφυγών, λῃστηρίου καὶ ναυαγίας: ἐξελθὼν δὲ καὶ τὴν Χλόην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γελῶσαν ἅμα καὶ δακρύουσαν εὑρὼν ἐμπίπτει τε αὐτῆς τοῖς κόλποις καὶ ἐπυνθάνετο τί βουλομένη συρίσειεν: [2] ἡ δὲ αὐτῷ διηγεῖται πάντα: τὸν δρόμον τὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Δόρκωνα, τὸ παίδευμα τῶν βοῶν, πῶς κελευσθείη συρίσαι, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκε Δόρκων: μόνον αἰδεσθεῖσα τὸ φίλημα οὐκ εἶπεν. Ἔδοξε δὴ τιμῆσαι τὸν εὐεργέτην, καὶ ἐλθόντες μετὰ τῶν προσηκόντων Δόρκωνα θάπτουσι τὸν ἄθλιον. [3] Γῆν μὲν οὖν πολλὴν [p. 261] ἐπένησαν, φυτὰ δὲ ἥμερα πολλὰ ἐφύτευσαν καὶ ἐξήρτησαν αὐτῶν τῶν ἔργων ἀπαρχάς: ἀλλὰ καὶ γάλα κατέσπεισαν καὶ βότρυς κατέθλιψαν καὶ σύριγγας πολλὰς κατέκλασαν. [4] Ἠκούσθη καὶ τῶν βοῶν ἐλεεινὰ μυκήματα καὶ δρόμοι τινὲς ὤφθησαν ἅμα τοῖς μυκήμασιν ἄτακτοι: καὶ ὡς ἐν ποιμέσιν εἰκάζετο καὶ αἰπόλοις, ταῦτα θρῆνος ἦν τῶν βοῶν ἐπὶ βουκόλῳ τετελευτηκότι.
