| Διὰ τὰς δίκας φεύγουσιν Ἀθήνας δύο τινές, | |

| ἐλθόντες ἠρώτων ἀπραγμόνων πόλιν. | |
| Εἷς δ᾽ ὄρνις ἔποπι συμπαρὼν μετὰ πλειόνων | |
| πτηνῶν διδάσκει τί δύνατ’ ὀρνίθων γένος, | |
| καὶ πῶς ἐάνπερ κατὰ μέσον τὸν ἀέρα | |
| πόλιν κτίσωσι, τῶν θεῶν τὰ πράγματα | |
| αὐτοὶ παραλήψοντ’. Ἐκ δέ τοῦδε φαρμάκῳ | |
| πτέρυγάς ἐποιοῦντ'· ἠξίωσαν δ’ οἱ θεοί, | |
| ἐπίθεσιν οὐ μικρὰν ὁρῶντες γενομένην. |

| Translation(s) |
Ob lites fugiunt Athenas duo quidam: qui ad Upupam, qui dicitur Tereus fuisse, cum venerunt, rogabant negotiis-vacuorum urbem. Unus e duobus senibus qui Upupae simul adstat cum pluribus alitibus, docet quid possit avium genus, et quomodo, si per medium aera urbem conderent, deorum res ipsi exciperent; ex aliquo autem veneno alas faciebant: aequum-censuere dii, cum novarum-rerum-molitionem non parvam factam viderent. |
