Γαίης ἐν νώτοισ(ιν) ὀχούμενος ὦ πτολεμαῖε·
οὐκ ἀστρ(ῶν) δὴ μούνον ἀεὶ δίνητον ἀνάγκην·
ἀλλὰ κ(αὶ) αὐτά περ ὅττι τελεῖ σημήϊα φαίνεις·
αἰθέριόν τε νόον φορέειν οὐ γήινον ἔμπης·
κ(αὶ) φύσιος θνητ(ῶν) περ ἀλυκτοπέδησ(ιν) ἐδέσμου,
ἔξω σαρκὸς ἔβης δε κ(αὶ) ἀχλύο ἰλυοέσσης·
κ(αὶ) βροτέης φύσε(ως) δεσμούμ(εν)ος ἔνδοθι τεθμῶν
οὐ(δὲ) πόλοιοφορ(ὰν) σὺ διέγν(ως) ἀστατέουσαν·
τοὔνεκα δὴ χρειὼ καλέειν σέ τιν' οὐρανιώνων·
εἰ γ(ὰρ) κ(αὶ) μερόπεσι χαμερπέσι συμβιότευσας·
ἀλλὰ νόον παθέων ἐν τοῖσι πόνοισι καθῆρας
κ(αὶ) τελέσεις προέειπ(ας) ἐσύστερον τέρμα λαχούσ(ας): +
