Greek Text: πολλοῖς δὲ κωκυτοῖσιν αἰχμαλωτίδων βοᾷ Σκάμανδρος δεσπότας κληρουμένων. καὶ τὰς μὲν Ἀρκάς, τὰς δὲ Θεσσαλὸς λεὼς εἴληχ᾽ Ἀθηναίων τε Θησεῖδαι πρόμοι.

English Text: Scamander's banks re-echo long and loud the screams of captive maids, as they by lot receive their masters. [30] Arcadia takes some, and some the people of Thessaly; others are assigned to Theseus' sons, the Athenian chiefs.
