| Σαρδώ τις ἔστι νῆσος Ἰβηροτρόφος, | |
| έν ᾗ βοτάνη φθαρτικὴ γῆς ἐκτρέχει, | |
| σελινοειδής, Σαρδάνη καλουμένη. | |
| Βεβρωμένη δὲ τοῖς ἀπείροις αὐτίκα | |
| σπασμούς τε ποιεῖ καὶ γελώτων ἐμφάσεις | |
| καὶ πότμος εὐθύς, καὶ γελάσιμος μόρος. | |
| Ἄλλοι δὲ φασὶ Σαρδανεῖς τοὺς βαρβάρους | |
| γηρῶντας αὐτῶν τοὺς γενάρχας ἐσχάτως | |
| ἄγειν λαβόντας εἰς ἀπόκρημνον τόπον· | |
| κτείνειν τε τούτους ἐν ῥοπάλοις καὶ λίθοις, | |
| ἔπειτα ῥίπτειν ἐκ πετρῶν τοὺς ἀθλίους, | |
| γελῶντας εἰκῆ παιδιαῖς πατροκτόνοις. | |
| Ἄλλοις δὲ τοὺς θνήσκοντας ἀρέσκει πλέον | |
| γελᾷν ὁρῶντας τεχνικὰς παροινίας | |
| καὶ τὰς κυλίστρας καὶ στροφὰς τῶν πραγμάτων. |
