χάλκεός εἰμι λέων κρουνοὶ δέ μοι ὄμματα δοιά,
καὶ στόμα, καὶ δὲ θέναρ δεξιτεροῖο ποδός.
πλήθει δὲ κρητῆρα δύ᾽ ἤμασι δεξιὸν ὄμμα,
καὶ λαιὸν τρισσοῖς, καὶ πισύροισι θέναρ:

ἄρκιον ἓξ ὥραις πλῆσαι στόμα: σὺν δ᾽ ἅμα πάντα,
καὶ στόμα καὶ γλῆναι καὶ θέναρ, εἰπὲ πόσον.

I am brazen lion; my spouts are my two eyes, my mouth, and the flat of my right foot. My right eye fills a jar in two days, my left eye in three, and my foot in four. My mouth is capable of filling it in six hours; tell me how long all four together will take to fill it.
*Solution*: The scholia propose several, two of which, by not counting fractions, reach the result of four hours; but the strict sum is 3 33/37 hours.
