Καὶ ἡ μὲν ἐν Ταρσῷ ἦν μετὰ Περιλάου, τὸν χρόνον ἀναμένουσα τοῦ γάμου: ὁ δὲ Ἁβροκόμης ᾔει τὴν ἐπὶ Κιλικίας ὁδόν: καὶ οὐ πρὸ πολλοῦ τοῦ ἄντρου τοῦ λῃστρικοῦ ῾ἀπεπεπλάνητο γὰρ καὶ αὐτὸς τῆς ἐπ̓ εὐθὺ ὁδοὖ συντυγχάνει τῷ Ἱπποθόῳ ὡπλισμένῳ. [2] Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸν ἰδὼν προστρέχει καὶ φιλοφρονεῖται καὶ δεῖται κοινωνὸν γενέσθαι τῆς ὁδοῦ. ‘Ὁρῶ γάρ σε, ὦ μειράκιον, ὅστις ποτὲ εἶ, καὶ ὀφθῆναι καλὸν καὶ ἄλλως ἀνδρικόν: καὶ ἡ πλάνη φαίνεται πάντως ἀδικουμένου. [3] Ἴωμεν οὖν Κιλικίαν μὲν ἀφέντες ἐπὶ Καππαδοκίαν καὶ τὸν ἐκεῖ Πόντον: λέγονται γὰρ οἰκεῖν ἄνδρες [4] εὐδαίμονες.’ Ὁ δὲ Ἁβροκόμης τὴν μὲν Ἀνθείας ζήτησιν οὐ λέγει, συγκατατίθεται δὲ ἀναγκάζοντι τῷ Ἱπποθόῳ, καὶ ὅρκους ποιοῦσι συνεργήσειν τε καὶ συλλήψεσθαι: ἤλπιζε δὲ καὶ ὁ Ἁβροκόμης ἐν τῇ πολλῇ πλάνῃ τὴν Ἄνθειαν εὑρήσειν.
