ἦν ὅτε ἦν ἀτίνακτος ἐγὼ τάφος οὔρεος ἄκρην
πουλὺς ὑπερτέλλων τηλεφανὴς σκόπελος:
νῦν δέ με θὴρ ἐτίναξεν ἐφέστιος εἵνεκα χρυσοῦ:
ὧδε δ᾽ ἐτινάχθην γείτονος ἐν παλάμαις.

— Paton edition

I was once an undisturbed tomb, like a rock rising
high above the mountain summit, and conspicuous
from afar; but now a beast of my own house has
destroyed me for the sake of gold, and thus I was
demolished by the hands of my neighbour.
