	ἡρακλέους ἆθλοι

	πρῶτα μὲν ἐν νεμέα βριαρὸν κατέπεφνε λέοντα·
	δεύτερον ἐν λέρνη πολυαύχενον ἔκτανεν ὕδραν·
	τὸ τρίτον αὖ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐρυμάνθιον ἔκτανε κάπρον·
	ὑψίμερων δ’ ἔλαφον μετὰ ταῦτ᾿ ἤγρευσε τέταρτον·
	πέμπτον δ᾿ ὄρνιθας στυφελίδως ἐξεδίωξεν·
	ἕκτον δ’ ἀμαζονίδος κόμισε ζωστῆρα φαεινόν·
	ἕβδομον αὐγείου πολλὴν κόπρον ἐξεκάθηρεν·
	ὄγδοον ἐκ θρήκης διομήδεος ἤλασεν ἵππους·
	εἴνατον ἐκ κρήτης πυρίπνοον ἤλασε ταῦρον·
	γηρυόνος δέκατον βόας ἤλασ(εν) ἐξ ἐρυθείης·
	ἑνδέκατον δ’ ἀνάγει κύνα κέρβερον ἐξ ἀΐδαο·
	δωδέκατον δ' ἤνεγκεν εἰς ἑλλάδα χρύσεα μῆλα.
	θυστίεω (?) θυγατρῶν τρισκαιδέκατος πέλεν ἆθλος·
