Aeque dis inmortalibus acceptus Simonides, cuius salus ab inminenti † officio defensa ruinae quoque subtracta est: cenanti enim apud Scopam Crannone, quod est in Thessalia oppidum, nuntiatum est duos iuuenes ad ianuam uenisse magnopere rogantes ut ad eos continuo prodiret. ad quos egressus neminem repperit ibi. ceterum eo momento temporis triclinium, in quo Scopas epulabatur, conlapsum et ipsum et omnes conuiuas oppressit. quid hac felicitate locupletius, quam nec mare nec terra saeuiens extinguere ualuit!
