Epigram 3

1Χαλκέη παρθένος εἰμί, Μίδεω δ’ ἐπὶ σήματι κεῖμαι·

2ἔστ’ ἂν ὕδωρ τε νάῃPlato, Diogenes, Contest of Homer: ῥέῃ, pseudo-Herodotus. καὶ δένδρεα μακρὰ τεθήλῃ,

3ἠέλιος τ’ ἀνιὼν λάμπῃ λαμπρά τε σελήνη,

4καὶ ποταμοί γε ῥέωσιν ἀνακλύζῃ δὲ θάλασσα,

5αὐτοῦ τῇδε μένουσα πολυκλαύτου ἐπὶ τύμβου

6ἀγγελέω παριοῦσι, Μίδης ὅτι τῇδε τέθαπται.
