The Ephesian Tale 3.8.3-5
-
Ἐν δὲ τούτῳ νυκτὸς ἐπιγενομένης λῃσταί τινες μαθόντες ὅτι κόρη τέθαπται πλουσίως, καὶ πολὺς μὲν αὐτῇ κόσμος συγκατάκειται γυναικεῖος, πολὺς δὲ ἄργυρος καὶ χρυσός, ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸν τάφον καὶ ἀναρρήξαντες τοῦ τάφου τὰς θύρας, εἰσελθόντες τόν τε κόσμον ἀνῃροῦντο καὶ τὴν Ἄνθειαν ζῶσαν ὁρῶσι: μέγα δὲ καὶ τοῦτο κέρδος ἡγούμενοι ἀνίστων τε αὐτὴν καὶ ἄγειν ἐβούλοντο. Ἡ δὲ τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν προκυλιομένη πολλὰ ἐδεῖτο ‘ἄνδρες, οἵτινές ποτ̓ ἐστὲ’ λέγουσα, ‘τὸν μὲν κόσμον τοῦτον ἅπαντα ὅστις ἐστὶ καὶ ἅπαντα τὰ συνταφέντα λαβόντες κομίζετε, φείσασθε δὲ τοῦ σώματος.
