Ὑμνίδα τὴν Εὐάνδρου, ἐράσμιον αἰὲν ἄθυρμα
οἰκογενές, κούρην αἱμύλον εἰναέτιν,
ἥρπασας, ὦ ἄλλιστ᾽ Ἀίδη, τί πρόωρον ἐφιεὶς
μοῖραν τῇ πάντως σεῖὸ ποτ᾽ ἐσσομένῃ;

— Paton edition

O Hades the inexorable, thou hast carried off Hymnis, Evander's daughter, ever the loveable pet of his house, the coaxing nine-year-old girl. Why didst thou send such early death to her who must one day in any case be thine ?

— Paton edition

Hymnis, la fille d'Evandros, ce joujou toujours gracieux né dans la maison, séduisante enfant de neuf ans, tu l'as ravie, inexorable Hadès : pourquoi ce sort prématuré envoyé à celle qui de toute façon devait un jour être à toi ?

— Waltz edition

Imnide figlia d'Evandro, giocattolo caro, allettante
bimba di nove anni nata in casa,
Ade crudele rapisti. Perché questo fato precoce?
Sarebbe stata in ogni caso tua.
