Translation
As by a violent death, and not of one's own accord. By force, not by one's own death. Sophocles [writes]: "Orestes is dead from a violent fate."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐξ ἀναγκαίας τύχης· οἷον ἀναγκαστῷ μόρῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἐκ ταὐτομάτου. ἐκ βίας, οὐκ ἰδίῳ θανάτῳ. Σοφοκλῆς· τέθνηκ' Ὀρέστης ἐξ ἀναγκαίας τύχης.
