ὃς κακὸς οὐ φθιμένοισι, τάχ᾽ ἂν φθιμένοισιν ἀρήγοι
ὃς δ᾽ οὐδὲ φθιμένοις, οὔποτ᾽ ἂν οὐ φθιμένοις.
ὣς δὲ σὺ τοῖς φθιμένοισιν ἐπεὶ τάφον ἐξαλάπαξας,
οὔποτ᾽ ἂν οὐ φθιμένοις χεῖρα φέροις ὁσίην.

— Paton edition

He who is evil to the living might, perhaps, help
the dead, but who helps not the dead would never
help the living. So thou, since thou hast plundered
the tomb of the dead, wouldst never reach out a
pious hand to the living.
