Non inuitus huic subnecto Daphniten, ne quis ignoret quantum interfuerit cecinisse deorum laudes et numen obtrectasse. hic, cum eius studii esset, cuius professores sophistae uocantur, ineptae et mordacis opinationis, Apollinem Delphis inridendi causa consuluit an equum inuenire posset, cum omnino nullum habuisset. cuius ex oraculo reddita uox est, inuenturum equum, sed ut eo proturbatus periret. inde cum iocabundus quasi delusa sacrarum sortium fide reuerteretur, incidit in regem Attalum saepe numero a se contumeliosis dictis absentem lacessitum, eiusque iussu saxo, cui nomen erat Equi, praecipitatus ad deos usque cauillandos dementis animi iusta supplicia pependit.
