Pearson 69

69 is not easily to be restored (see Hunt's n.), more particularly as it is not clear whether the words are connected with the following lines, which are themselves not altogether intelligible, and may be corrupt, as Wilamowitz thinks (p. 4555). - βιοῦν μέτα, Diehl.

Silenus
(Speaking.)

Oh gods, Fortune and the god who leads in the straight way, grant me success as I race out to seek out the prey, the spoil, and the booty: the cattle stolen from Phoebus. If there is anyone who has seen them, or heard about them, he would become my friend by telling me, and he would help me to help lord Phoebus. But if someone does not tell what he knows, 4 his reward will be the god’s disapproval.

Silenus

Does anyone say, or does anyone know, where the cattle are?¹ It seems that I must begin the search. Come, all of you, track them by their scent, if there is any trace left anywhere. Bent over, crouching to the ground, be guided by the scent. Carry out your search this way and bring it to a worthy fulfilment.
