Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀναβιῶναι· ἀναζῆσαι. ἤδη δέ τινές φασιν, ὡς τοσοῦτον ἄρα τὸν Αἴσωπον θεοφιλῆ γενέσθαι, ὡς καὶ ἀναβιῶναι αὐτὸν, καθάπερ οὖν τὸν Τυνδάρεων καὶ τὸν Ἡρακλέα καὶ τὸν Γλαῦκον. καὶ Πλάτων φησὶν ὁ κωμικός· καὶ νῦν ὄμοσόν μοι μὴ τεθνάναι τὸ σῶμα ἐγώ· ψυχὴ δ' ἀπὸ νίκης ὥσπερ Αἰσώπου ποτέ.
