Ἔστι μοι πλοῦτος μέγας Sopu καὶ 
ξίφος καὶ τὸ καλὸν λαισήϊον, πρόβλημα χρωτός" 
τούτῳ γὰρ ἀρῶ, τούτῳ θερίξω,
τούτῳ πατέω τὸν ἁδὺν οἶνον am’ ἀμπέλω"
τούτῳ δεσπότας μνοΐας κέκλημαι.

τοὶ δὲ μὴ τολμῶντ' ἔχειν δόρυ καὶ 
ξίφος καὶ τὸ καλὸν λαισήϊον, πρόβλημα χρωτός, 
πάντες γόνυ πεπτηῶτες ἁμὸν
.......προσ > κυνέοντί με δεσπόταν
καὶ μέγαν βασιλῆα φωνέοντες
