ἀλλ᾽ εἰ μὴ Σπεύσιππον ἐμάνθανον ὧδε θανεῖσθαι,
οὐκ ἂν ἔπεισὲ μέ τις τόδε λέξαι,
ὡς ἦν οὐχὶ Πλάτωνι πρὸς αἵματος: οὐ γὰρ ἀθυμῶν
κάτθανεν ἂν διά τι σφόδρα μικρόν.

— Paton edition

Se di Speusippo ignorata l'avessi, la scelta di morte, nessuno mai mi avrebbe indotto a credere che di Platone non fosse parente: giammai non sarebbe morto scorato per futile obietto.

— Pontani, Filippo Maria (1978-81) (ed.): Antologia Palatina, 4 vols., Torino.

ἀλλ εἰ μὴ Σπεύσιππον ἐμάνθανον ὧδε θανεῖσθαι ,
οὐκ ἂν ἔπεισὲ μέ τις τόδε λέξαι ,
ὡς ἦν οὐχὶ Πλάτωνι πρὸς αἵματος : οὐ γὰρ ἀθυμῶν
κάτθανεν ἂν διά τι σφόδρα μικρόν .

If I had not heard that Speussipus would die so ,
no one would have persuaded me to say this , that he
was not akin to Plato ; for then he would not have
died disheartened by reason of a matter exceeding small .
