Μαρτύρομ᾽, ἀθλοφόροι καὶ μάρτυρες: ὕβριν ἔθηκαν
τιμὰς ὑμετέρας οἱ φιλογαστορίδαι.
οὐ ζητεῖτε τράπεζαν ἐύπνοον, οὐδὲ μαγείρους:
οἱ δ᾽ ἐρυγὰς παρέχουσ᾽ ἀντ᾽ ἀρετῆς τὸ γέρας.

— Paton edition

I testify, ye martyrs. The belly-lovers have made
your worship into wantonness. Ye desire no sweet-
smelling table, nor cooks. But they honour you with
belching rather than righteousness.
