σῶμα φέρων σκιοειδές, ἀδερκέϊ σύμπνοον αὔρῃ,
μή ποτε θαρσήσῃς ἄγχι τινὸς πελάσαι,
μή τις ἔσω μυκτῆρος ἀναπνείων σε κομίσσῃ
ἄσθματος ἠερίου πολλὸν ἀφαυρότερον.

οὐ σὺ μόρον τρομέεις: τότε γὰρ πάλιν οὐδὲν ἀμείψας
ἔσσεαι ὡσαύτως φάσμα, τόπερ τελέθεις.

— Paton edition

As you have a body like a shadow, made of breath
like the invisible wind, you should never venture to
come near anyone, lest in drawing his breath he
carry you into his nostrils, more feeble as you are
than a breath of air. You have no fear of death,
for then, without changing at all, you will again be
just as you are, a ghost.
