	Ἑπτὰ σοφῶν ἐρέω κατ’ ἔπος πόλιν οὔνομα φωνήν
	μέτρον μὲν κλεόβουλος ὁ λίνδιος εἶπεν ἄριστον
	ὃς δὲ κόρινθον ἔναιεν θυμοῦ κρατέειν περίανδρος
	χίλων ἐν κοίλη λακεδαιμονι γνῶθι σεαυτὸν
	μηδὲν ἄγαν πίττακος ὃς ἦν γένος ἐκ μιτυλήνης
	τέρμα δ’ ὁρᾶν βιότοιο σόλων ἱεραῖς ἐν ἀθήναις
	οἱ πλείους κακοὶ βίας ἀπέφηνε πριηνεὺς
	ἐγγύη οὐ καλὸν θαλῆς ὁ μιλήσιος εἶπεν.
