Ἀλώπηξ καὶ πίθηξ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὡδοιπόρουν. παρερχόμενοι δὲ διά τινων μνημείων, ἔφη ὁ πίθηξ τῇ ἀλώπεκι ὡς “πάντες οἱ νεκροὶ οὗτοι ἀπελεύθεροι τῶν ἐμῶν γεννητόρων ὑπάρχουσιν.” ἡ δὲ ἀλώπηξ λέγει τῷ πίθηκι “εὐχερῶς ἐψεύσω· οὐδεὶς γὰρ τῶν ἐνταῦθα ταφέντων ἀπελέγξαι σε δύναται.”
Οὗτος παριστᾷ τὸν τοὺς ψευδολόγους ὀρθῶς διελέγχοντα, καὶ τοὺς προδήλως τὸ ψεῦδος ἀντὶ ἀληθείας προσφέροντας.
Ἀλώπηξ καὶ πίθηξ
ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
ὡδοιπόρουν.
παρερχόμενοι δὲ
διά τινων μνημείων,
ἔφη ὁ πίθηξ
τῇ ἀλώπεκι
ὡς
“πάντες οἱ νεκροὶ οὗτοι
ἀπελεύθεροι
τῶν ἐμῶν γεννητόρων
ὑπάρχουσιν.”
ἡ δὲ ἀλώπηξ
λέγει τῷ πίθηκι
“εὐχερῶς ἐψεύσω·
οὐδεὶς γὰρ
τῶν ἐνταῦθα ταφέντων
ἀπελέγξαι σε
δύναται.”
Οὗτος παριστᾷ
τὸν τοὺς ψευδολόγους ὀρθῶς διελέγχοντα,
καὶ
τοὺς προδήλως τὸ ψεῦδος ἀντὶ ἀληθείας προσφέροντας.
