ἐχθὲς λουόμενος Διοκλῆς ἀνενήνοχε σαύραν
ἐκ τῆς ἐμβάσεως τὴν Ἀναδυομένην.

ταύτην εἴ τις ἔδειξεν Ἀλεξάνδρῳ τότ᾽ ἐν Ἴδῃ,
τὰς τρεῖς ἂν ταύτης προκατέκρινε θεάς.

Yesterday Diodes in the bath brought up a lizard from the tub, "Aphrodite rising from the waves.” If someone had shown it to Paris then in Ida, he would have pronounced the three goddesses to be less fair than it.

Hier aux bains, Dioclès fit, hors de la baignoire, jaillir son « lézard », une Vénus sortant des flots !
Qui, jadis, sur l’Ida, l’eût fait voir à Paris, eût déclassé en sa faveur les trois déesses !

— R. Aubreton

Ontem, nos banhos, Diocles, enquanto se banhava, fez subir seu lagarto, uma Afrodite saindo das ondas do mar.
E se alguém o tivesse mostrado a Páris quando ele estava no Ida, ele escolheria o lagarto no lugar das três deusas.
