Ἀκηδής· ἄταφος, ἀμελής. οἱ δὲ Ῥωμαῖοι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν πολεμίους ἀκηδεῖς οὐχ ὑπέμειναν παριδεῖν. καὶ Ἀκηδῶς, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀτάφως. ἰδὼν ναυηγοῦ σῶμα ἐρριμμένον ἀκηδῶς καὶ ὀλιγώρως παρελθεῖν οὐκ ἐτόλμησεν, ἀλλὰ ἔθαψε τὸν τεθνεῶτα, θέαμα τῷ ἡλίῳ οὐδαμῇ φίλον ἀποκρύπτων ἀνθρωπίνῳ θεσμῷ. λέγεται καὶ Ἀκηδὴς ἐν Μυθικοῖς· πικρὴ μέν τε λύκοις, αὐτὰρ χιμάροισιν ἀκηδής. καὶ αὖθις· διαλύει τὸν τάφον ἀκηδῶς καὶ ἀνοίκτως καὶ ἀπὸ τῶνδε τῶν λίθων ἀνίστησι πύργον. ἐκεῖθεν ἑάλω ἡ πόλις.
