φησὶ Δίκη:
τίς πίστις, ὅτ᾽ ὤλεσας ὃν λαγόνεσσι

σῇσιν ἔδωκα, νέκυν, γαῖα φίλη, φθίμενον;



οὐ γαίη μ᾽ ἐτίναξεν ἀτάσθαλος ὤλεσεν ἀνήρ,

καὶ φιλοκερδείης εἵνεκα. τοῦτον ἔχε.

— Paton edition

Quoth Justice, " What faith is there, since thou,
dear earth, hast destroyed him whom I entrusted to
thy womb?" "It was not the earth that disturbed
me; a wicked man destroyed me, and for the sake
of gain. Lay hold on him."
