ἐνταῦθα τὸν Ὀρφέα διατρῖψαί φησι τὸν Κίκονα, ἄνδρα γόητα, ἀπὸ μουσικῆς ἅμα καὶ μαντικῆς καὶτῶν περὶ τὰς τελετὰς ὀργιασμῶν ἀγυρτεύοντα τὸ πρῶτον, εἶτ᾽ ἤδη καὶ μειζόνων ἀξιοῦντα ἑαυτὸν καὶ ὄχλον καὶ δύναμιν κατασκευαζόμενον: τοὺς μὲν οὖν ἑκουσίως ἀποδέχεσθαι, τινὰς δ᾽ ὑπιδομένους ἐπιβουλὴν καὶ βίαν ἐπισυστάντας διαφθεῖραι αὐτόν. (EL)
Εδώ λέγεται ότι ζούσε ο Ορφέας, ο Κίκονας, ένας μάγος, ο οποίος αρχικά συγκέντρωνε χρήματα από τη μουσική, τη μαντική και τις οργιαστικές τελετές, αργότερα όμως αξίωνε για τον εαυτό του μεγαλύτερα πράγματα, ακολούθους και δύναμη. Ορισμένοι τον αποδέχτηκαν με τη θέλησή τους, άλλοι όμως διέκριναν κάποια επιβουλή και βία, ενώθηκαν εναντίον του και τον εξόντωσαν. […] (EL)
Here lived Orpheus, the Ciconian, it is said - a wizard who at first collected money from his music, together with his soothsaying and his celebration of the orgies connected with the mystic initiatory rites, but soon afterwards thought himself worthy of still greater things and procured for himself a throng of followers and power. Some, of course, received him willingly, but others, since they suspected a plot and violence, combined against him and killed him. (EN)
