(formerly occ/4625)

	Εἰ καί σου σοφίης θυμὸς πάρος ἔσκε βέβηλος
	πειθοῦς οὐδ’ ἐδάης, ὄργια θελξινόου,
	Ῥητήρων δεκάδα προτέρων θαμινῶς ἀνελίσσων,
	Αἶψα δαημοσύνης οἶστρω ἀναφλογίσῃ·
	Αἶψα δέ τ' εἰν ἀγορῇσι κεκασμένα μήδε’ ὑφαίν(ων)
	εὐεπίῃς, οἴση, κῦδος ἀπειρέσιον:~
	Ταῦτα δ’ ἐγώ πτερόεντι σοφήν διανύκτα θαάσσων
	γράψας σὺν καλάμῳ οὐ πονέειν δοκέ(ων).
	Ὄμματα μὲν γὰρ ἔκαμνε· πόνου γέμεν οὐκ ἀλεγίζον,
	Αἰὲν ἐπισπέρχων, νύσσαν έποψέμενας.
	Ἀλλά φίλος νεαροῦ μετιὼν τάδε μνάεο μάρκου
	μνάεο καὶ ξείνῳ. Πολλάκι χαῖρε φράσον:~
