ἑπτὰ βίοιο πέλει τάδε θαύματα: τεῖχος, ἄγαλμα,
κῆποι, πυραμίδες, νηός, ἄγαλμα, τάφος:
ὄγδοον ἔσκον ἔγωγε πελώριος ἐνθάδε τύμβος,
ὑψιπαγής, σκοπέλων τῶνδ᾽ ἀποτῆλε θέων

πρῶτος δ᾽ ἐν φθιμένοισιν ἀοίδιμος, ἔργον ἄπληστον
τῆς σῆς, ἀνδροφόνε, μαινομένης παλάμης.

— Paton edition

These are the seven wonders of the world: a wall,
a statue, gardens, pyramids, a temple, another statue,
a tomb. The eighth was I, this vast tomb rising high
above these rocks; and among the dead I am most
celebrated, owing to the greed of thy furious hand,
murderer.
