Nam me ipsum huc [sc. Atheuas] modo veuieutem couvertebat ad sese Coloneus ille locus, cujus incola Sophocles ob oculos versabatur; quem scis quam admirer, quamque eo delecter. Me quidem ad allioren memoriam (edipodis huc veuieutis, et illo molliuimo camine, quenem esseut ipsa bee loca, requireutis, species quedam commovit, ioanis scilicet, red commovit tamen. And in De Seuectute, Sophocles ad summam seuectutem tragedies fecit; quod propter studium cum rem familiarem neg ligere videretur, a filiis in judicium vocatus est: ut quemadmodum nostro more male rem gereutibus patribus bouis interdici solet; sic illum, quasi desipieutem, a re familiari removereut judices. Tum seuex dicitur eam fabulam, quam in mauibus behebst, et proxime scripserat, (edipus Coloueus recitasse judicibus, que sisseque, num illud carmen desipieutis videretur: quo recitato, sententus judicum est liberatus.
