[5] The sequel of this story, how Nycteus died, and how the care of the boy with the sovereignty of Thebes devolved on Lykos, the brother of Nycteus, I have already set forth in my account of Sikyon. When Labdacus grew up, Lykos handed over to him the reins of government; but Labdacus too died shortly afterwards, and Lykos again became guardian, this time to Laios, the son of Labdacus.

[5] τὰ δὲ ἐφεξῆς μοι τοῦ λόγου προεδήλωσεν ἡ Σικυωνία συγγραφή, τοῦ τε Νυκτέως τὸν θάνατον, ὅντινα γένοιτο τρόπον, καὶ ὡς ἐς Λύκον ἀδελφὸν Νυκτέως ἥ τε ἐπιμέλεια τοῦ παιδὸς περιῆλθε καὶ ἡ Θηβαίων δυναστεία. Λύκος δὲ παρέδωκε μὲν αὐξηθέντι Λαβδάκῳ τὴν ἀρχήν· γενομένης δὲ οὐ μετὰ πολὺ καὶ τούτῳ τῆς τελευτῆς, ὁ δὲ ἐπετρόπευσεν αὖθις Λάιον Λαβδάκου παῖδα.
