τοῖχος ἐνὶ προπόδεσσι καὶ ὄρθιος: ἔνθεν ἔπειτα
ὕπτιος, ἐκ λαγόνων εἰς ἓν ἀγειρομένων
τύμβος ἔην, καθύπερθε λόφου λόφος: ἀλλὰ τί ταῦτα
οὐδὲν χρυσοφίλαις οἳ μ᾽ ἐτίναξαν ὅλον.

— Paton edition

The lower courses of the tomb were perpendicular,
but above this it was composed of four inclined flanks
meeting in one. It was like a hill surmounting a
hill. But what use was all this? It was nothing to
the gold-seekers who demolished it entirely.
