	πρῶτα μὲν ἐν νεμεα βριαρον κατέπεφνε λέοντα·
	δεύτερον ἐν λέρνη πολυαύχενον ἔκταν(εν) ὕδραν.
	τὸ τρίτον αὖτ᾽ ἐπὶ τὸν ἐρμάνθιον ἔκτανε κάπρον
	ὑψίκερον δ᾽ ἔλαφον μετα ταῦτ᾽ ἤγρευσε τέταρτον·
	πέμπτον δ᾽ ὄρνιθας στυφελίδων ἐξεδίωξεν.
	ἕκτον ἀμαζονίδος κόμισε ζωστῆρα φαεινόν.
	ἕβδομον αὐγείου πολλ(ὴν) κόπρον ἐξεκάθηρ(εν).
	ὄγδοον ἐκ θρήκης διομήδεος ἤλασεν ἵππους.
	ἔννατον ἐκ κρήτης πυρίπνοον ἤλασε ταῦρον.
	γηρυόνος δέκατον βόας ἤλασεν ἐξ ἐρυθείης
	ἑνδέκατον δ᾽ ἀνάγκει κύνα κέρβερον ἐξ αἰδάω.
	δωδέκατον δ᾽ ἤνεγκεν εἰς ἑλλάδα χρύσεα μῆλα.
	θεστιέω θυγατρῶν τρισκαιδέκατος πέλεν ἄθλος.
