Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)

Chambry 31 = Perry 19

Ἀλώπηξ κιὰ βάτος.

Ἀλώπηξ φραγμὸν ἀναβαίνουσα, ἐπειδὴ ὀλισθήσασα καταπίπτειν ἔμελλεν, ἐπελάβετο πρὸς βοήθειαν βάτου. Καὶ δὴ τοὺς πόδας ἐπὶ ταῖς ἐκείνης κέντροις αἱμάξασα καὶ ἀλγήσασα πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπεν: "Οἴμοι: καταφυγοῦσάν με γὰρ ἐπὶ σὲ ὡς ἐπὶ βοηθὸν σὺ χεῖρον διέθηκας. " " Ἀλλα' ἐσφάλης, ὦ αὕτη," φησὶν ἡ βάτος, "ἐμοῦ βουληθεῖσα ἐπιλαβέσθαι, ἥτις πάντων ἐπιλαμβάνεσθαι εἴωθα."
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρόπων μάταιοι ὅσοι βοηθοῖς προστρέχουσιν οἷς τὸ ἀδικεῖν μᾶλλον ἔμφυτον.

(this version was the primary selection in Chambry's first edition)

Ἀλώπηξ καὶ βάτος.

Ἀλώπηξ φραγμὸν ἀναβαίνουσα, ἐπειδὴ ὀλισθαίνειν ἔμελλε, βάτου ἐπελάβετο. Ξυσθεῖσα δὲ τὸ πέλμα καὶ δεινῶς διατεθεῖσα, ᾐτιᾶτο αὐτὴν ὅτι καταφυγοῦσα ἐπ' αὐτὴν ὡς ἐπὶ βοηθὸν χείρονι αὐτῇ ἐχρήσατο. Καὶ ἡ βάτος ὑποτυχοῦσα εἶπεν· Ἀλλ' ἐσφάλης τῶν φρενῶν, ὦ αὕτη, ἐμοῦ ἐπιλαβέσθαι βουληθεῖσα, ἥτις αὐτὴ πάντων ἐπιλαμβάνεσθαι εἴωθα.
Οὕτως καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων μάταιοί εἰσιν ὅσοι τούτοις ὡς βοηθοῖς προσφεύγουσιν οἷς τὸ ἀδικεῖν μᾶλλόν ἐστιν ἔμφυτον. 
Chambry published a multivolume edition of the fables for the Belles Lettres series in 1925/6 (Paris). He later revised this into a single volume, omitting hundreds of the fable variants. In addition, the numeration between these two volumes is not consistent. The texts here are taken from the 1925/6 edition, but the numeration follows the stanard single volume edition.
