Αὐγείην ἐρέεινε μέγα σθένος Ἀλκεΐδαο,
πληθὺν βουκολίων διζήμενος: ὃς δ᾽ ἀπάμειπτο:

ἀμφὶ μὲν Ἀλφειοῖο ῥοάς, φίλος, ἥμισυ τῶνδε:

μοίρη δ᾽ ὀγδοάτη ὄχθον Κρόνου ἀμφινέμονται:

δωδεκάτη δ᾽ ἀπάνευθε Ταραξίπποιο παρ᾽ ἱρὸν

ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ Ἤλιδα δῖαν ἐεικοστὴ νεμέθονται:

αὐτὰρ ἐν Ἀρκαδίῃ γε τριηκοστὴν προλέλοιπα:

λοιπὰς δ᾽ αὖ λεύσσεις ἀγέλας τόδε πεντήκοντα.

*On the Dung of Augeas*
Heracles the mighty was questioning Augeas, seeking to learn the number of his herds, and Augeas replied : “About the streams of Alpheius, my friend, are the half of them; the eighth part pasture around the hill of Cronos, the twelfth part far
away by the precinct of Taraxippus; the twentieth part feed in holy Elis, and I left the thirtieth part in Arcadia; but here you see the remaining fifty herds.”
*Solution*: 240 (120-480 +20+12+8 +50).
