λίσσομαι: ἤν γε θάνω, ποταμῷ δέμας ἠὲ κύνεσσιν
ῥίψατε, ἠὲ πυρὶ δάψατε παντοφάγῳ:
λώιον ἢ παλάμῃσι φιλοχρύσοισιν ὀλέσθαι.
δείδια, τόνδε τάφον τοῖα παθόνθ᾽ ὁρόων.

— Paton edition

I beseech ye, if I die, throw my body into a river
or to the dogs, or consume it in the all-devouring
fire. That is better than to perish by hands greedy
of gold. I am in dread as I look on this tomb which
has met with this fate.
