Codex Palatinus 23 p. 575

Texts

ἦν ὅτε παῖδας ἔπειθε πάλαι ποτὲ δῶρα φιλεῦντας
ὄρτυξ, καὶ ῥαπτὴ σφαῖρα, καὶ ἀστράγαλοι:
νῦν δὲ λοπὰς καὶ κέρμα: τὰ παίγνια δ᾽ οὐδὲν ἐκεῖνα
ἰσχύει. ζητεῖτ᾽ ἄλλο τι, παιδοφίλαι.

— Paton edition

There was a time long, long ago, when boys who like presents were won by a quail, or a sewn ball, or knuclde-bones, but now they want rich dishes or money, and those playthings have no power. Search for something else, ye lovers of boys.
