Quod Aristides cùm audîsset, in concionem magnâ expectatione venit; dixit que Perutile esse consilium, quod Themistocles afferat; sed minimè honestum.

Olli certamine summo

Procumbunt: vastis tremit ictibus ærea puppis,
Subtrahiturque solum; tum creber anhelitus artus

Avidaque ora quatit; sudor fluit undique rivis.
Attulit ipse viris optatum casus honorem.

Namque furens animi dum proram ad saxa suburget
Interior spatioque subit Sergestus iniquo,
Infelix saxis in procurrentibus hæsit.
Concussæ cautes, et acuto in vertice remi
Obnixi crepuere, illisaque prora pependit.
Consurgunt nautæ et magno clamore morantur ;
Ferratasque trudes et acutâ cuspide contos
Expediunt, fractosque legunt in gurgite remos.
