Daphnis and Chloe

Πάλιν οὖν ταῖς ἑξῆς ἡμέραις ἐθύετο ἱερεῖα καὶ κρατῆρες ἵσταντο καὶ ἀνετίθει καὶ Χλόη τὰ ἑαυτῆς, τὴν σύριγγα, τὴν πήραν, τὸ δέρμα, τοὺς γαυλούς· ἐκέρασε δὲ καὶ τὴν πηγὴν οἴνῳ τὴν ἐν τῷ ἄντρῳ, ὅτι καὶ ἐτράφη παρ’ αὐτῇ, καὶ ἐλούσατο πολλάκις ἐν αὐτῇ·

ἐστεφάνωσε καὶ τὸν τάφον τῆς οἰός, δείξαντος Δρύαντος, καὶ ἐσύρισέ τι καὶ αὐτὴ τῇ ποίμνῃ, καὶ ταῖς θεαῖς συρίσασα εὔξατο τοὺς ἐκθέντας εὑρεῖν ἀξίους τῶν Δάφνιδος γάμων.

Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἅλις ἦν τῶν κατ’ ἀγρὸν ἑορτῶν, ἔδοξε βαδίζειν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ τούς τε τῆς Χλόης πατέρας ἀναζητεῖν καὶ περὶ τὸν γάμον αὐτῶν μηκέτι βραδύνειν.
