[3] It is said that Triptolemos once fell asleep, and that then Antheias, the son of Eumēlos, yoked the dragons to the chariot [ harma] of Triptolemos and tried to sow-seed [ speirein] himself. But Antheias, undertaking the task, fell off the chariot and was killed, and so Triptolemos and Eumēlos in common [ en koinōi] established [ oikizein] a city [ polis], and called it Antheia after the son of Eumēlos.
