Euclides mentem acuit semper-viventibus lineis,
omniaque vere interrogavit mortalibus
quaecunque voluit virescens natura evenire
figuris et solidis, fundamento quidem hocce
omnis fabricato sapientiae, mundoque
omni suae relicto signo doctrinae.

| Comment |
= Anth. Gr. Append. III.116
The text of the epigram on Euclid is slightly different from the one that has been published in Cougny (1890: 309). Where Cougny's text reads βροτοῖς, πάντα τε ἀτρεκέως ἐξερέεινε in line 2 of the epigram, the same line runs πάντά τε ἀτρεκέως ἐξερέεινε βροτοῖς in all occurrences.
