Λήξατε, τυμβοχόοι, ναὶ λήξατε βένθεσι γαίης
κεύθειν τοὺς φθιμένους: εἴξατε τυμβολέταις.
νεκρῶν καὶ τάδε γ᾽ ἐστὶ σοφίσματα, ὡς φιλόχρυσον
εὕρωσιν παλάμην, σήματα τοῖα χέειν.

— Paton edition

Cease, ye builders of tombs; yea, cease to hide
the dead in the depths of the earth. Give way
before the destroyers of tombs. This is a device
of the dead to erect such tombs in order that they
may meet with a hand that lusts for gold.
