Δύο ἀλέκτορες ἀλλήλοις ἐμάχοντο. καὶ ὁ μὲν εἷς ἡττηθεὶς τόπῳ τινὶ ἐν παραβύστῳ ἀπεκρύβη, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος, τὴν νίκην ἀράμενος, ἐφ’ ὑψηλοῦ τινος ἕστηκε δωματίου τὰ μεγάλα φρυαττόμενος καὶ τῇ νίκῃ ἐγκαυχώμενος, ἕως ἀετὸς καταπτὰς τοῦτον ἐκεῖθεν ἀνήρπασεν.
Οὗτος δηλοῖ ὡς οὐ χρή τινα ἐπ’ εὐτυχίᾳ καὶ δυνάμει μέγα φρονεῖν καὶ ἀφρόνως σοβαρεύεσθαι.
Δύο ἀλέκτορες
ἀλλήλοις ἐμάχοντο.
καὶ ὁ μὲν εἷς
ἡττηθεὶς
τόπῳ τινὶ ἐν παραβύστῳ
ἀπεκρύβη,
ὁ δὲ ἕτερος,
τὴν νίκην ἀράμενος,
ἐφ’ ὑψηλοῦ τινος ἕστηκε δωματίου
τὰ μεγάλα φρυαττόμενος
καὶ τῇ νίκῃ ἐγκαυχώμενος,
ἕως ἀετὸς
καταπτὰς
τοῦτον ἐκεῖθεν ἀνήρπασεν.
Οὗτος δηλοῖ ὡς
οὐ χρή τινα
ἐπ’ εὐτυχίᾳ καὶ δυνάμει
μέγα φρονεῖν
καὶ ἀφρόνως σοβαρεύεσθαι.
