ἀτρέμας, ὦ ξένε, βαῖνε: παρ᾽ εὐσεβέσιν γὰρ ὁ πρέσβυς εὕδει, κοιμηθεὶς ὕπνον ὀφειλόμενον, Εὐκράτεω Μελέαγρος, ὁ τὸν γλυκύδακρυν Ἔρωτα καὶ Μούσας ἱλαραῖς συστολίσας Χάρισιν ὃν θεόπαις ἤνδρωσε Τύρος Γαδάρων θ᾽ ἱερὰ χθών κῶς δ᾽ ἐρατὴ Μερόπων πρέσβυν ἐγηροτρόφει. ἀλλ᾽ εἰ μὲν Σύρος ἐσσί, Σαλάμ: εἰ δ᾽ οὖν σύ γε Φοῖνιξ, Ναίδιος: : εἰ δ᾽ Ἕλλην, Χαῖρε: τὸ δ᾽ αὐτὸ φράσον.
