[75] ὁ δ’ ἐπιβεβηκὼς οὐδενὸς ἐνειλημμένος, ὑφ’ οὗ στηριχθήσεται, πίπτει, περιδρυπτόμενος δὲ γόνυ καὶ χεῖρας καὶ πρόσωπα μεγάλα κλαίει τὴν ἰδίαν
κακοπραγίαν ὁ δείλαιος, πολλάκις δὲ καὶ τὰς βάσεις πρὸς τὸν δίφρον ἐξημμένος ἀνατραπεὶς ὕπτιος ἐπὶ νῶτα p. 312 Μ. ἀπῃώρηται καὶ ἐν ἁρματροχιαῖς αὐταῖς κεφαλήν τε καὶ αὐχένα καὶ ὤμους ἀμφοτέρους περιθραύεται κατασυρόμενος, εἶθ’ ὧδε κἀκεῖσε φορούμενος καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν ποσὶ προσαραττόμενος οἰκτρότατον ὑπομένει θάνατον.

[75] But the man who has mounted behind them, not being able to take hold of anything by which he may steady himself, falls, and lacerating his knees and his hands and his face, like a miserable man as he is, he bitterly weeps over his disaster; and after hanging by his feet to the chariot after he has been overturned, he is suspended, with his face upwards, lying on his back; and as the chariot proceeds, he is dragged along, and injured in his head, and neck, and both his shoulders; and then, being hurried on in this direction and in that, and being dashed against everything which lies in the way, he endures a most pitiable death.
