καὶ λόγον ἱστορίῃ κοσμούμενον ἠκρίβωσας
καὶ βίον ἐν φιλίῃ, Πάππε, βεβαιότατον.

τοῦτο δ᾽ ἑορτάζοντι γενέθλιον ἠριγένειαν
δῶρον ὁ Νειλαιεὺς πέμπει ἀοιδοπόλος.

Pappus, thou hast both strictly composed a work
adorned with learning, and hast kept thy life strict in
firmity of friendship. The Egyptian poet sends thee
this gift to-day when thou dost celebrate thy natal
morn.
