στῆθι πέλας, καὶ κλαῦσον ἰδὼν τόδε σῆμα θανόντος,
εἴποτ᾽ ἔην, νῦν αὖτε τάφον δηλήμονος ἀνδρός:
σῆμα πέλω μὴ τύμβον ἐγείρειε βροτὸς ἄλλος.
τί πλέον, εἰ παλάμαισι φιλοχρύσοισιν ὀλεῖται;

— Paton edition

Stand hard by and weep as ye look on this tomb
of some dead man, if ever he existed, but which is
now the tomb of an evil-doer. I am a monument
proclaiming that none else should erect a tomb; for
what does it serve, if it is to perish by hands greedy
of gold?
