φυγῇ δ᾽ ἀκόσμῳ πᾶσα ναῦς ἠρέσσετο,
ὅσαιπερ ἦσαν βαρβάρου στρατεύματος.
τοὶ δ᾽ ὥστε θύννους ἤ τιν᾽ ἰχθύων βόλον
425
ἀγαῖσι κωπῶν θραύμασίν τ᾽ ἐρειπίων
ἔπαιον , ἐρράχιζον : οἰμωγὴ δ᾽ ὁμοῦ
κωκύμασιν κατεῖχε πελαγίαν ἅλα,
ἕως κελαινῆς νυκτὸς ὄμμ᾽ ἀφείλετο.
κακῶν δὲ πλῆθος , οὐδ᾽ ἂν εἰ δέκ᾽ ἤματα
430
στοιχηγοροίην , οὐκ ἂν ἐκπλήσαιμί σοι.
εὖ γὰρ τόδ᾽ ἴσθι , μηδάμ᾽ ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ
πλῆθος τοσουτάριθμον ἀνθρώπων θανεῖν.

νῆσός τις ἔστι πρόσθε Σαλαμῖνος τόπων,
βαιά , δύσορμος ναυσίν , ἣν ὁ φιλόχορος
Πὰν ἐμβατεύει , ποντίας ἀκτῆς ἔπι.
450
ἐνταῦθα πέμπει τούσδ᾽ , ὅπως , ὅταν νεῶν
φθαρέντες ἐχθροὶ νῆσον ἐκσῳζοίατο,
