ロクリス勢はやっとのことで故国に帰り着いた。三年後、ロクリスが疫病に見舞われると、「イリオンでアテナをなだめ、千年のあいだ嘆願者として乙女を二人ずつ送れ」という託宣を受けた。籤は最初にペリボイアとクレオパトラに当たった。
The Locrians regained their own country with difficulty, and three years afterwards, when Locris was visited by a plague, they received an oracle bidding them to propitiate Athena at Ilium and to send two maidens as suppliants for a thousand years. The lot first fell on Periboea and Cleopatra.
二人がトロイアへ来ると、土地の者たちに追い立てられ、聖域に逃げ込んだ。女神に近づくことはせず、聖域を掃き、水を撒いた。神殿から外へ出ず、髪は短く刈られ、一枚の衣だけを着て、履物は履かなかった。
And when they came to Troy they were chased by the natives and took refuge in the sanctuary. And they did not approach the goddess, but swept and sprinkled the sanctuary; and they did not go out of the temple, and their hair was cropped, and they wore single garments and no shoes.
最初の乙女たちが死ぬと、別の乙女たちが送られた。彼女たちは夜のうちに町へ入った。境内の外で姿を見られれば剣にかけられたからである。のちには乳母をつけた赤子が送られた。千年が過ぎ、フォキス戦争ののち、嘆願者を送ることはやめられた。
And when the first maidens died, they sent others; and they entered into the city by night, lest, being seen outside the precinct, they should be put to the sword; but afterwards they sent babes with their nurses. And when the thousand years were passed, after the Phocian war they ceased to send suppliants.
