Texte grec :
| [12,8] τρίτον δὲ ἰδοῦσα τοξευτήν τινα
ἄνδρα προέλεγεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἀνὴρ φθάσει ὑμᾶς τοῖς ὑμετέροις
πτεροῖς, πεζὸς ὢν αὐτὸς πτηνὰ ἐπιπέμπων βέλη. τὰ δὲ ἠπίστει
τοῖς λόγοις καὶ ἀνόητον αὐτὴν ἡγοῦντο καὶ μαίνεσθαι ἔφασκον·
ὕστερον δὲ πειρώμενα ἐθαύμαζε καὶ τῷ ὄντι σοφωτάτην ἐνόμιζεν.
καὶ διὰ τοῦτο, ἐπὰν φανῇ, πρόσεισιν ὡς πρὸς ἅπαντα ἐπισταμένην·

Traduction française :
| [12,8] And in the third place, when she saw a man
armed with a bow, she prophesied, saying : " Yonder
man will outstrip you with the help of your own
feathers, for though he is on foot himself, he will send
feathered shafts after you."
But the other birds mistrusted her words of warning.
They considered her foolish, and said she was mad;
but afterwards through experience they came to
admire her and to consider her in very truth
exceedingly wise. And that is the reason why,
whenever she shows herself, they draw near to her
as to one possessing all knowledge ; but as for
her, she no longer gives them advice, but merely laments.
