[3] The young people came safely to the island Leucophrys, and the island was given its present name from Tennes. Kyknos, however, was not to remain for ever ignorant of the trick and sailed to his son to confess his ignorance and to ask for pardon for his mistake. He put in at the island and fastened the cables of his ship to something—a rock or a tree—but Tennes in a passion cut them adrift with an axe.

[3] σώζονταί τε δὴ πρὸς τὴν νῆσον οἱ παῖδες τὴν Λεύκοφρυν καὶ ὄνομα ἡ νῆσος τὸ νῦν ἔσχεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Τέννου. Κύκνος δὲ—οὐ γὰρ τὸν πάντα ἔμελλε χρόνον ἀγνοήσειν ἀπατώμενος—ἔπλει παρὰ τὸν υἱὸν ἄγνοιάν τε ὁμολογήσων τὴν αὑτοῦ καὶ παραιτησόμενος τὸ ἁμάρτημα· προσορμισαμένου δὲ τῇ νήσῳ καὶ ἐξάψαντος ἀπὸ τῆς νεὼς πρός τινα ἢ πέτραν ἢ δένδρον τοὺς κάλους, Τέννης πελέκει σφᾶς ἀπέκοψεν ὑπὸ τοῦ θυμοῦ.
