[2] One must judge by the fact that the
Pylagori set a price not on
Onetes and
Corydallus but on
Epialtes the

Epialtes was banished on this charge.

Onetes might have known the path, although he was not a
Malian, if he had often come to that country, but
Epialtes was the one who guided them along the path around the mountain. It is he whom I put on record as guilty.
