Kauffmann von Syracus, sage nichts mehr zu deiner Verantwortung; ich kan zum Nachtheil des Gesezes nicht partheylich seyn.

Denn seitdem diese verderbliche Zwietracht zwischen deinen aufrührischen Landsleuten und uns ausgebrochen, ist in der allgemeinen Versammlung des Volks, sowol von den Syracusern als von uns, beschlossen worden, keine Handlung noch Gemeinschaft zwischen unsern feindseligen Städten zu erlauben; noch mehr, welcher gebohrne Epheser sich auf den Märkten und Jahrsmessen von Syracus betreten läßt, der stirbt; und hinwieder, welcher gebohrne Syracuser in der Bay von Ephesus gefunden wird, der stirbt, und seine Güter werden zu Handen des Staats eingezogen; es sey dann, daß er tausend Mark zu seinem Lösegeld bezahlen könne.

The starvation is over, and Pericles continues on after being graciously thanked by Cleon and Dionyza. A storm wrecks Pericle's boat and washes him up on the shores of Pentapolis. He is guarded by a gathering of unfortunate anglers who inform him that Simonedes, King of Pentapolis, is holding a competition the following day and that the winner will get the hand of his little girl, Thaisa, in marriage.

Once more, a tempest emerges while adrift, and Thaisa seems to pass on bringing forth her kid, Marina. The mariners demand that Thaisa's body be set over the edge to quiet the tempest. Pericles hesitantly concurs, and chooses to stop at Tarsus since he fears that Marina may not endure the storm. Luckily, Thaisa's coffin washes aground at Ephesus, close to the home of Lord Cerimon, a doctor who resuscitates her.
