	Λιπὼν κόρινθον οἰδίπους π(ατ)ρ(ό)ς νόθος,
	πρὸ(ς) τῶν ἁπάντ(ων) λοιδορούμ(εν)ος ξένος,
	ἦλθεν πυθέσθαι πυθικ(ῶν) θεσπισμ(ά)τ(ων)·
	ζητ(ῶν) ἑαυτὸν καὶ γένους φυτοσπόρ(ον)·
	εὑρὼν δ' ὁ τλήμων ἐν στεν(αῖς) ἀμαξιταῖς,
	ἄκων ἔπεφνε λάιον γεννήτορα·
	σφιγγὸς δὲ δεινῆς θανάσιμον λύσ(ας) μέλος,
	ἤσχυνε μ(ητ)ρ(ό)ς ἀγνοουμένης λέχος·
	λοιμὸ(ς) δὲ θήβας εἷλε καὶ νόσος μακρὰ·
	κρέων δὲ πεμφθεὶς δελφικ(ὴν) πρὸ(ς) ἑστί(αν),
	ὅπως πύθηται τοῦ κακοῦ παυστήρι(ον),
	ἤκουσε φωνῆς μαντικῆς θεοῦ πάρα·
	τὸν λαΐειον ἐκδικηθῆναι φόν(ον)·
	ὅθεν μαθὼν ἑαυτὸν οἰδίπους τάλ(ας),
	δισσαῖς τε χερσὶν ἐξανάλωσεν κόρ(ας)·
	αὐτὴ δὲ μ(ήτ)ηρ, ἀγχόναις διώλετο:-
