Εἴ τινα πώποτ’ ἄκουσας ἐνυαλίου φίλον υἱὸν
καὶ σθεναρὸν δυνάμει, καὶ θαρσαλέον πολεμίζειν·
ἕκτορα τὸν πριάμοιο νόει μοῦνον γεγενεῖσθαι·
ὃν ποτε μαρνάμεν(ον), διομήδης ἔκτανεν ἀνὴρ·
αἴκεν πρὸς τρώων δαναοῖσι μάχην προφέροντα·
ὃν καὶ τῆδε θανόντα, τάφος ὅδ' ἀμφικαλύπτει·

All three epigrams are also to be found in the Anthologia Palatina (AP XVI.29, XVI.4 and IX.387). Hardt (1806: 19) distinguishes only two, by merging the first and the second epigram into one poem.
