	Περὶ τῆς ἐνταῦθα ματαιότητος ἡρωικοὶ στίχοι:+

	Εἰπὲ ποῦ ἡ χθὲς ἔβη· ἡ δ’ αὔριον εἰπὲ ποῦ ἐστιν·
	εἰπὲ δ' ὅθεν προέβης καὶ ποῦ ὁδοιπορέεις·
	καὶ τί μέγα ζώειν γε τὸν αὐτίκα νεκρὸν ἐόντα·
	ὁ χρόνος ἀστατέει· φύλλῳ ἔοικε φύσις·
	γαῖα βροτὸς (καὶ) ὕδωρ· τὰ ἀπ’ αὐτόφ(ιν) εἰς τάδε δύνει·
	ὥστε μάτην ὁ βίος (καὶ) ὅσα τις πονέει:+
