| Ὦ Πύρρων μέγα θαῦμα πεφασμένον ὡς πλέον ὀυδέν, | |
| τῶν ἄλλων ἕτερον χρῆμά τι θαμβαλέον. | |
| εἰ μὲν ὑπερφιάλως κατ’ ἐναντίον ἐλθέμεν ἔτλης, | |
| συμπάντων γε σοφῶν φεῦ ὅσον ἦσθα τάλας˙ | |
| εἰ δὲ κὲν ἰδμοσύνης τῆς ἀνδρομέης κατεγνωκώς, | |
| τὰ πρώτιστα φέρεις ὧν σοφίης κατέγνως. |

Prodigium ingenii Pyrrho magnum, atque stupenda, Quo nulla in toto res magis orbe fuit. Quod si prater fas cunctis sapientibus unus Ausus es obniti, quam miser unus eras! Vana hominum at si ridebatur opinio, nempe Philosophis potior quos reprehendis eras. |
