Text
χωρὶς δὲ τούτων ἧκόν τινες τοῖς
ἄρχουσιν ἀπαγγέλλοντες τὴν ἐν Ὀγχηστῷ λίμνην μυκή-
ματι παραπλήσιον φωνὴν ἀφιέναι, τῇ δὲ Δίρκῃ κατὰ
τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν τοῦ ὕδατος αἱματοειδῆ φρίκην ἐπιτρέ-
χειν.
Translation
More than this [other omens of the coming of Alexander toward Thebes], people reported to the city officials that the marsh at Onchestus was emitting a sound very like a bellow, while at Dirce a bloody ripple ran along the surface of the water.
