Besedilo
Lisice
Once some foxes gathered by the River Maeander, wishing to drink from it. But the water rushed along so swiftly that, though they urged one another on, none dared venture in. Then one of them stepped forward, belittling the others and mocking their cowardice. Declaring herself braver than the rest, she boldly leaped into the water. When the current swept her out into midstream, the others, standing on the riverbank, called to her, “Do not leave us! Turn back and show us where we can go in and drink safely.” As she was carried away, she replied, “I have a message for Miletus, and I want to deliver it there. On my way back, I will show you.” The fable is for those who bring danger upon themselves through boasting.

Ποτὲ ἀλώπεκες ἐπὶ τὸν Μαίανδρον ποταμὸν συνηθροίσθησαν, πιεῖν ἐξ αὐτοῦ θέλουσαι· διὰ δὲ τὸ ῥοιζηδὸν φέρεσθαι τὸ ὕδωρ, ἀλλήλας προτρεπόμεναι οὐκ ἐτόλμων εἰσελθεῖν. Μιᾶς δὲ αὐτῶν διεξιούσης, ἐπὶ τῷ εὐτελίζειν τὰς λοιπὰς, καὶ δειλίαν καταγελώσης, ἑαυτὴν ὡς γενναιοτέραν προκρίνασα θαρσαλέως εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ ἐπήδησεν. Τοῦ δὲ ῥεύματος ταύτην εἰς μέσον κατασύραντος, καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν, παρὰ τὴν ὄχθην τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἑστηκυιῶν, πρὸς αὐτὴν εἰπουσῶν „μὴ ἐάσῃς ἡμᾶς, ἀλλὰ στραφεῖσα ὑπόδειξον τὴν εἴσοδον, διʼ ἧς ἀκινδύνως δυνησόμεθα πιεῖν,“ ἐκείνη ἀπαγομένη ἔλεγεν· ,,ἀπόκρισιν ἔχω εἰς Μίλητον, καὶ ταύτην ἐκεῖσε ἀποκομίσαι βούλομαι· ἐν δὲ τῷ ἐπανιέναι με, ὑποδείξω ὑμῖν.“
Πρὸς τοὺς κατὰ ἀλαζονείαν ἑαυτοῖς κίνδυνον ἐπιφέροντας.
