ἦν δυὰς ἦν ἱερή, ψυχὴ μία, σώματα δισσά,
πάντα κασιγνήτω, αἷμα, κλέος, σοφίην,
υἱέες Ἀμφιλόχου, Εὐφήμιος Ἀμφίλοχός τε,
πᾶσιν Καππαδόκαις ἀστέρες ἐκφανέες.

δεινὸν δ᾽ ἀμφοτέρους Φθόνος ἔδρακε: τὸν μὲν ἄμερσε
ζωῆς, τὸν δ᾽ ἔλιπεν ἥμισυν Ἀμφίλοχον.

— Paton edition

It was a holy pair, one soul in two bodies, brothers
in everything, blood, fame, wisdom, the sons of
Amphilochus, Euphemius and Amphilochus, conspicuous
in the eyes of all Cappadocia. But Envy
cast a terrible glance on both and depriving one of
life, left Amphilochus, but half himself, behind.
