[3] Θέλων οὖν ἐνδείξασθαι στοργὴν καὶ μεγαλοψυχίαν ἔφη πρὸς αὐτὴν ‘ἀνάστηθι, ὦ γύναι, καὶ τάφον κατασκεύασον τῷ ταλαιπώρῳ. Τί τὰ μὲν ἀδύνατα σπεύδεις, ἀμελεῖς δὲ τῶν ἀναγκαίων; νόμιζε ἐφεστηκότα σοι λέγειν αὐτὸν ῾θάπτε με, ὅττι τάχιστα πύλας Ἀίδαο περήσω.᾿ καὶ γὰρ εἰ μὴ τὸ σῶμα εὕρηται τοῦ δυστυχοῦς, ἀλλὰ νόμος οὗτος ἀρχαῖος Ἑλλήνων, ὥστε καὶ τοὺς ἀφανεῖς τάφοις κοσμεῖν.’
