[8] In this part of the painting is Schedios, who led the men of Phokis to Troy, and after him is Pelias, sitting on a chair, with grey hair and grey beard, and looking at Orpheus. Schedios holds a dagger and is garlanded with grass. Thamyris is sitting near Pelias. He has lost the sight of his eyes; his attitude is one of utter dejection; his hair and beard are long; at his feet lies thrown a lyre with its horns and strings broken.

[8] κατὰ τοῦτο τῆς γραφῆς Σχεδίος ὁ Φωκεῦσιν ἡγησάμενος ἐς Τροίαν καὶ μετὰ τοῦτον Πελίας ἐστὶν ἐν θρόνῳ καθεζόμενος, τὰ γένεια ὁμοίως καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν πολιός, ἐνορᾷ δὲ ἐς τὸν Ὀρφέα· ὁ δὲ Σχεδίος ἐγχειρίδιόν τε ἔχων καὶ ἄγρωστίν ἐστιν ἐστεφανωμένος. Θαμύριδι δὲ ἐγγὺς καθεζομένῳ τοῦ Πελίου διεφθαρμέναι αἱ ὄψεις καὶ ταπεινὸν ἐς ἅπαν σχῆμά ἐστι καὶ ἡ κόμη πολλὴ μὲν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς, πολλὴ δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν τοῖς γενείοις· λύρα δὲ ἔρριπται πρὸς τοῖς ποσί, κατεαγότες αὐτῆς οἱ πήχεις καὶ αἱ χορδαὶ κατερρωγυῖαι.
