Sunt et externa eiusdem propositi exempla. Rex Atheniensium Codrus, cum ingenti hostium exercitu Attica regio debilitata ferro ignique uastaretur, diffidentia humani auxilii ad Apollinis Delphici oraculum confugit perque legatos sciscitatus est quonam modo tam graue illud bellum discuti posset. respondit deus ita finem ei fore, si ipse hostili manu occidisset. quod quidem non solum totis Athenis, sed in castris etiam contrariis percrebruit, eoque factum est ut ediceretur ne quis Codri corpus uulneraret. id postquam cognouit, depositis insignibus imperii famularem cultum induit ac pabulantium hostium globo se obiecit unumque ex his falce percussum in caedem suam conpulit. cuius interitu ne Athenae occiderent effectum est.
