φασὶ δέ τινες καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν δακρύων κρήνην ῥυῆναι ἰδίᾳ τὴν καλουμένην Βυβλίδα.
ἡ δ̓ ὅτε δὴ ὀλοοῖο κασιγνήτου νόον ἔγνω,
κλαῖεν ἀηδονίδων θαμινώτερον, αἵτ̓ ἐνὶ βήσσῃς
Σιθονίῳ κούρῳ πέρι μυρίον αἰάζουσιν:
καί ῥα κατὰ στυφελοῖο σαρωνίδος αὐτίκα μίτρην
ἁψαμένη, δειρὴν ἐνεθήκατο, ταὶ δ̓ ἐπ̓ ἐκείνῃ
βεύδεα παρθενικαὶ Μιλησίδες ἐρρήξαντο.

οἱ δὲ πλείους τὴν Βυβλίδα φασὶν ἐρασθεῖσαν τοῦ
Καύνου λόγους αὐτῷ προσφέρειν καὶ δεῖσθαι μὴ
περιιδεῖν αὐτὴν εἰς πᾶν κακοῦ προελθοῦσαν: ἀποστυγήσαντα
δὲ οὕτως τὸν Καῦνον περαιωθῆναι εἰς
τὴν τότε ὑπὸ Λελέγων κατεχομένην γῆν, ἔνθα κρήνη
Ἐχενηίς, πόλιν τε κτίσαι τὴν ἀπ̓ αὐτοῦ κληθεῖσαν
Καῦνον: τὴν δὲ ἄρα ὑπὸ τοῦ πάθους μὴ ἀνιεμένην,
πρὸς δὲ καὶ δοκοῦσαν αἰτίαν γεγονέναι Καύνῳ τῆς
ἀπαλλαγῆς, ἀναψαμένην ἀπό τινος δρυὸς τὴν μίτραν
ἐνθεῖναι τὸν τράχηλον. λέγεται δὲ καὶ παῤ ἡμῖν οὕτως:
