‘καὶ νῦν,’ ἔφη, ‘ὦ Ἀδύρμαχε, ἐλαύνειν
τε ^ ἕτοιμος ἅμα σοι ἐπὶ τὸν Βόσπορον, ἢν ἐθέλῃς,
μένειν τε, εἰ δέοι, καὶ τὴν παῖδα ἄγειν.’
‘τοῦτο,’ ἔφη, ‘καὶ μᾶλλον,’ ὁ Ἀδύρμαχος, ‘ἐθελήσαιμ᾽
ἄν, ἀφ᾽ αἵματος ὄντα σε Μαζαίαν ἄγειν. ἢν μὲν γὰρ ἅμα ἡμῖν ἴῃς ἐπὶ Βόσπορον, ἱππεῖ ἑνὶ πλείους
[p. 188]
ἂν γενοίμεθα: εἰ δέ μοι τὴν γυναῖκα ἄγοις, ἀντὶ πολλῶν ἂν γένοιο.’ Ταῦτα ἐγίνετο καὶ ὁ μὲν ἀπήλαυνε παραδοὺς τῷ Μακέντῃ ἄγειν τὴν Μαζαίαν παρθένον ἔτι οὖσαν.

δεξιᾷ λαβὼν τὰ Μιτραίων ὄρη, διαναπαύων μεταξὺ τὴν παῖδα, τριταῖος ἐτέλεσεν ἐκ Μαχλύων ἐς Σκύθας. καὶ ὁ μὲν ἵππος αὐτῷ, ἐπειδὴ ἐπαύσατο
