[21] Κομβάβος μέν νυν τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦδε ἀσφαλέα ὁδὸν ἤνυεν· ἀπικόμενοι δὲ ἐς τὴν ἱρὴν πόλιν σπουδῇ τὸν νηὸν οἰκοδόμεον καὶ σφίσι τρία ἔτεα ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ ἐξεγένετο, ἐν τοῖσι ἀπέβαινε τάπερ ὁ Κομβάβος ὀρρώδεεν. ἡ Στρατονίκη γὰρ χρόνον ἐπὶ πολλὸν συνόντα μιν ποθέειν ἄρχετο, μετὰ δέ οἱ καὶ κάρτα ἐπεμήνατο. καὶ λέγουσιν οἱ ἐν τῇ ἱρῇ πόλει τὴν Ἥρην τουτέων αἰτίην ἐθέλουσαν γενέσθαι, Κομβάβον ἐσθλὸν μὲν ἐόντα λαθέειν μηδαμά, Στρατονίκην δὲ τίσασθαι, ὅτι οὐ ῥηιδίως τὸν νηὸν ὑπέσχετο.
