τοῦτον γὰρ τὸν ταὼ (χαίρει δὲ ὁ Πρωτεσίλεως τῇ ἄνθῃ καὶ τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ ὄρνιθος) ἰδών ποτε ὑπερανεστηκότα καὶ περιβεβλημένον τὰ πτερὰ περιβλέποντά τε αὐτὰ καὶ καθαίροντα, ἔστι δ’ ἃ καὶ διατιθέντα, ἵν’ ὥσπερ οἱ τῶν λίθων ὅρμοι κεκοσμημένα φαίνοιτο, “ἰδοὺ” ἔφη, “οὗ πρώην ἐμνημονεύομεν, Πάρις ὁ τοῦ Πριάμου.” ἐμοῦ δὲ ἐρομένου αὐτόν· “τί ἔοικεν ὁ ταὼς τῷ Πάριδι;,” “τὸ φίλαυτον” εἶπε. καὶ γὰρ δὴ κἀκεῖνος κόσμου ἕνεκεν περιήθρει μὲν ἑαυτόν, περιεσκόπει δὲ τὰ ὅπλα.
