	ἑπτὰ σοφῶν ἐρέω κατ’ ἔπος‧ πόλιν‧ οὔνομα‧ φωνήν:
	μέτρον μὲν κλεόβουλος ὁ λίνδιος εἶπεν ἄριστον:
	χίλων δ’ ἐν κοίλη λακεδαίμονι, γνῶθι σαυτὸν:
	(...) λήθη ἐγένετο (...)
	πιττακὸς οὐδὲν ἄγαν‧ ὃς ἔην γένος ἐκ μιτυλήνης:
	τέρμα δ’ ὁρᾶν βιότοιο, σόλων ἱεραῖς ἐν ἀθήναις‧
	τοὺς πλέονας κακίους δὲ, βί(ας) ἀπέφηνε πριηνεύς:
	ἐγγύην φευγειν δὲ θαλης μιλήσιος ηὔδα:
	ὃς δὲ κόρινθον ἔναι χόλου κραταίειν περίανδρος:

Comment	Tziatzi-Papagianni (1994: 438): 'der Vers über Periander wurde als letzter nachgetragen; der Schreiber hat die Zeile 13, die diesem Vers entsprechen würde (Periander erscheint in diesem Epigramm als der dritte Weise), leer gelassen und darauf «λήθη έγένετο», "es wurde vergessen", geschrieben'.
