Ὡς ἄγαμαί σου τῆς γραφῆς, Πυθαγόρα,
σοφῶς γεμούσης, ἀρετῶν πασῶν τύπον,
ὡς ὑπερεξῄρησαν τῶν φιλοσόφων,
ὡς ὑπερηκόντισας ἐν παραινἐσει
τὴν Πυκιμήδην καὶ σοφὸν Φωκυλίδην.
πλὴν άλλ' ἐπομνύοντα τῇ τετρακτύϊ
καταγελῶ σου τοὺς κενοὺς τούτους κόπους·
τριαδικὴν γὰρ παριδὼν ἐξουσίαν,
ποιητικὴν δή φημι τῆς τετρακτούος,
τὴν τετρακτὸν ἔστερξας ὡς πανταιτίαν.
βλέπων γὰρ οὐκ ἔβλεψας ὡς Δαυὶδ λέγει.
