[76] τῷ μὲν δὴ τοιοῦτον ἀποβαίνει τὸ
τέλος, τὸ δὲ ὄχημα ἀνακουφιζόμενον καὶ ἐξαλλόμενον μετὰ βίας, ὅταν ἐπὶ γῆν παλίσσυτον ἐνεχθῇ, ῥᾷστα κατάγνυται, ὡς μηκέτ’ αὖθις ἁρμοσθῆναι καὶ παγῆναι δύνασθαι· τὰ δὲ ζῷα πάντων τῶν συνεχόντων ἀφειμένα παρακινεῖται καὶ οἰστρᾷ καὶ οὐ παύεται φερόμενα, πρὶν ὑποσκελισθέντα πεσεῖν ἢ κατά τινος ἐνεχθέντα κρημνοῦ βαθέος παραπολέσθαι.

[76] He then meets with an end, such as I have been describing; and the chariot, being lightened by his fall and bounding along violently, when, at last, it is dashed to the ground in the rebound, is easily broken to pieces, so that it can never again be joined or fastened together. And the animals, being now released from everything which could restrain them, proceed at random, and are frantic, and do not cease galloping on, till they are tripped up and fall, or till they are hurried over some high precipice, and so are dashed to pieces and destroyed.
