ῥήτωρ ἐν ῥητῆρσιν, ἀοιδοπόλος δ᾽ ἐν ἀοιδοῖς,
κῦδος ἑῆς πάτρης, κῦδος ἑῶν τοκέων,
ἄρτι γενειάσκων Εὐφήμιος, ἄρτι δ᾽ ἔρωτας
ἐς θαλάμους καλέων, ὤλετο: φεῦ παθέων

ἀντὶ δὲ παρθενικῆς τύμβον λάχεν, ἠδ᾽ ὑμεναίων
ἤματα νυμφιδίων ἦμαρ ἐπῆλθε γόων.

— Paton edition

Euphemius, an orator among orators, a poet among
poets, the glory of his country, the glory of his
parents, is dead, but just bearded, but just beginning
to call the loves to his chamber. Alas for the
misfortune! Instead of a virgin bride he possesses
a tomb, and the day of wailing overtook the days of
the bridal song.
