ὁσσάτιον παράμειψα βροτῶν βίον οὐδ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔμελλον
ἐκφυγέειν παλάμας γείτονος οὐλομένας,
ὅς με καὶ αἰπὺν ἐόντα χαμαὶ βάλε νηλέι θυμῷ,
οὔτε Θεὸν δείσας, οὐθ᾽ ὁσίην φθιμένων.

— Paton edition

How long did I outlive the life of man! Yet it
was not my fate to escape the destructive hands of
my neighbour, who relentlessly cast me down, high
as I was, fearing neither God nor the respect due
to the dead.
