Ἠῷοι Μελάνιππον ἐθάπτομεν, ἠελίου δὲ
δυομένου Βασιλὼ κάτθανε παρθενικὴ
αὐτοχερί: ζώειν γάρ, ἀδελφεὸν ἐν πυρὶ θεῖσα,
οὐκ ἔτλη. δίδυμον δ᾽ οἶκος ἐσεῖδε κακὸν

πατρὸς Ἀριστίπποιο: κατήφησεν δὲ Κυρήνη
πᾶσα, τὸν εὔτεκνον χῆρον ἰδοῦσα δόμον.

— Paton edition

It was morning when we buried Melanippus, and at sunset the maiden Basilo died by her own hand ; for after laying her brother on the pyre she coud not abide to live. The house of their father Aristippus witnessed a double woe, and all Cyrene stood with downcast eyes, seeing the home bereft of its lovely children.

— Paton edition

A l'aube nous mettions au tombeau Mélanippos ; et au coucher du soleil Basilô, la jeune fille, se donna la mort de sa propre main ; car après avoir placé son frère sur le bûcher, elle ne supporta plus la vie. Ainsi la maison de leur père Aristippos vit un double malheur ; et Cyrène tout entière fut attristée, en voyant déserte la demeure jadis pleine d'enfants.

— Waltz edition

Fu Melanippo sepolto nell'alba; morí nella sera
Basilò, la fanciulla, di sua mano:
posto sul rogo il fratello, di vivere forza non ebbe.
Vide la casa d'Aristippo, il padre,
doppia sciagura. Orbata la casa fiorente di figli
scorse, e nel lutto s'accasciò Cirene.
