Ἥρων δὲ καὶ Ἀτὴρ καὶ Ἰσίδωρος Αἰγύπτιοι καὶ “σὺν αὐτοῖς παιδάριον ὡς πεντεκαιδεκαέτης ὁ Διόσ- ‘κορος παρεδόθησαν· καὶ πρῶτον τὸ ‘λόγοις τε ἀπατᾶν ὡς εὐπαράγωγον, καὶ “καταναγκάζειν ὡς εὐένδοτον πειρωμένου, οὔτε ἐπείσθη οὔτε εἶξεν ὁ Διοσκόρος.

English · Claude translation

Hero, Ater, and Isidore, Egyptians, and with them Dioscorus, a boy of about fifteen, were handed over. And first, when the judge tried to deceive the lad with words as easily led, and to compel him by force as easily yielding, Dioscorus neither was persuaded nor gave way.
