| Ἤλυθεν ἐκ Θήβης ἀλαὸν πόδα βακτρεύουσα | |
| πατρὸς ὁμογνήτου τλήμονος Ἀντιγόνη | |
| ἐς χθόνα Κεκροπίην καὶ τὰς Δήμητρος ἀρούρας, | |
| σεμνῶν δ’ ἱδρύθη σηκὸν ἐς ἀθανάτων. | |
| Ὡς δὲ Κρέων Θήβηθεν ἔχων εἰσῆλθεν ἀπειλάς, | |
| Θησεὺς ταῖς ὁσίαις ῥύσατο χερσὶ βίᾳ. | |
| Φοιβείων παρέχων χρησμῶν φάτιν εἶπεν ἀληθῆ, | |
| ἔνθεν ἄρ’ ὁ πρέσβυς τόνδε κρατεῖν πολέμοις. | |
| Ἀργόθεν ἦλθεν [ἔπειθ’] ἱκέτης κρατερὸς Πολυνείκης· | |
| τῷ δὲ πατὴρ στυγερὰς ἐξεπέλασσεν ἀράς. | |
| Μοῖραι γὰρ δυσάλυκτοι ἀφ’ ἱππείοιο Κολωνοῦ | |
| ἤγαγον ἀνδραπόδων πνεῦμα πολυχρόνιον. | |
| Ὡς δ’ ἦν Αἰγείδης ἔφορος λογίων Ἑκάτοιο, | |
| σεισμοῖς καὶ βρονταῖς ἦν ἀφανὴς ὁ γέρων. |

Metricum argumentum Colonei Oedipi. Venit Thebis caecum pedem baculi-instar-sustinens patris ejusdem et fratris miseri Antigona in terram Cecropiam et Cereris arva, venerandarumque positus est in septo immortalium. Ut vero Creon Thebis advenit praebens minas, Theseus piis eos servavit manibus vi. Phoebeorum praebens oraculorum dictum dixit verum, inde quidem senex huncce victurum bellis Argis venit deinde supplex fortis Polynices: cui quidem pater graves incussit diras. Parcae enim inevitabiles ab equestri Colono adduxere servorum spiritum diuturnum. Ut erat Aegides inspector oraculorum Longe-jaculantis Dei, per terrae-motum et tonitrua disparuit senex. |
