μὴ ψεύδεσθ᾽ ὅτι γαστρὸς ἐπαινέται εἰσὶν ἀθληταί:
λαιμῶν οἵδε νόμοι, ὦ 'γαθοί, ὑμετέρων:
μάρτυσι δ᾽ εἰς τιμὴν ἓν ἐπίσταμαι: ὕβριν ἐλαύνειν
ψυχῆς καὶ δαπανᾶν δάκρυσι τὴν πιμελήν.

— Paton edition

Assert not falsely that martyrs are commenders of
the belly. This is the law of your gullets, good
people. But I know one way of honouring the
martyrs, to drive away wantonness from the soul,
and decrease thy fatness by weeping.
