ἡ πήρη καὶ χλαῖνα καὶ ὕδατι πιληθεῖσα
μάζα, καὶ ἡ πρὸ ποδῶν ῥάβδος ἐρειδομένη,
καὶ δέπας ἐκ κεράμοιο, σοφῷ κυνὶ μέτρα βίοιο
ἄρκια κἠν τούτοις ἦν τι περισσότερον

κοίλαις γὰρ πόμα χερσὶν ἰδὼν ἀρύοντα βοώτην,
εἶπε: τί καὶ σὲ μάτην, ὄστρακον, ἠχθοφόρουν;

— Paton edition

La besace, un manteau, un pain d'orge pétri à l'eau, devant les pieds un bon bâton au sol solidement appuyé, un bol de terre cuite, au sage "chien" il n'en fallait pas plus pour vivre. Il y avait même un objet superflu : voyant un bouvier boire dans le creux de ses mains : "Vieux tesson, dit-il, dont je me chargeais en vain."

— Waltz edition

The wallet and cloak and the barley-dough thickened with water, the staff planted before his feet, and the earthenware cup, are estimated by the wise Dog as sufficient for the needs of life, and even in these there was something superfluous ; for, seeing the countryman drinking from the hollow of his hand, he said, "Why, thou earthen cup, did I burden myself with thee to no purpose ?"
