Εἰ δ’ ἄγε (καὶ) σκοτίων αἰνίγματα δέρκεο μύθων·
οἷκον ἐπὶ ψάμμου κείμενον ἀδρανέος· ||
καὶ σπόρον ὡς ἐπὶ γαῖαν ὁμοίϊος ἧλθεν ἄνισος·
(καὶ) σπόρον ᾧ ῥα καλῷ, σπέρματα ἐχθρὰ μίγη·
(καὶ) δένδρον ὀλίγον νάπυος σπόρ(ον)· εἶτ’ ἐν ἀλεύρῳ
ζύμην κρυπτομένην· ὤνιον ἀγρὸν ἔτι·
θησαυροῖο χάριν (καὶ) μαργαρίτην πολύτιμον·
ἔμπορος ὃν πάντων, ἐπρίατο κτεάνων·
(καὶ) νεπόδων ἕλκουσαν ἅπαν γένος ἐξ ἁλὸς ἄρκυν·
αἰρόμενον τ’ ὤμοις πλαζόμενον πρόβατον·
(καὶ) πικρῷ θεράποντι χρέους πέρι, πικρ(ὸν) ἄνακτα·
(καὶ) πρώτοις πυμάτους μισθὸν ἔχοντας ἶσον·
πεμπομενους θ’ υἱῆας ἐς ἄμπελον οὐδ(ὲν) ὁμοίους·
καὶ τοὺς, κληρονόμον ὠσαμένους θανάτῳ·
(καὶ) σχεδίους νυμφῶνι φίλην πλήσαντας ἑορτ(ήν)·
ἔνθεν ἀκοιμήτους ἐν δαΐδεσσι κόρας·
(καὶ) κύριον δούλοισι, νέμοντ’ οὐκ ἷσα τάλαντα·
ἔμπαλιν αὗ προβάτοις ἱσταμένους ἐρίφους: +
