οὔποτε σεῖο τράπεζα, θυηδόχος ἔδρακε νῶτα,
οὐδὲ διὰ στομάτων ἦλθε βέβηλον ἔπος:
οὐδὲ γέλως μαλακῇσιν ἐφίζανε, μύστι, παρειαῖς.
σιγήσω κρυφίους σεῖο, μάκαιρα, πόνους.

καὶ τὰ μὲν ἔνδοθι τοῖα, τὰ δ᾽ ἔκτοθι πᾶσι πέφανται:
τοὔνεκα καὶ θείῳ σῶμ᾽ ἀπέλειπες ἕδει.

— Paton edition

The sacrifuual table never saw thy back, nor did a
profane word ever pass thy lips, nor did laughter
ever sit, O God’s initiated, on thy soft cheeks. I
will say naught of thy secret troubles, O blessed
woman. Such wast thou within, and what thou wast
outwardly was manifest to all. Therefore didst
thou take leave of thy body in the house of God.
