ἄλλη μὲν κλεινή τις ἐνοικιδίοισι πόνοισιν,
ἄλλη δ᾽ ἐκ χαρίτων ἠδὲ σαοφροσύνης,
ἄλλη δ᾽ εὐσεβίης ἔργοις καὶ σαρκὸς ἀνίαις,
δάκρυσιν, εὐχωλαῖς, χερσὶ πενητοκόμοις:

Νόννα δ᾽ ἐν πάντεσσιν ἀοίδιμος: εἰ δὲ τελευτὴν
τοῦτο θέμις καλέειν, κάτθανεν εὐχομένη.

— Paton edition

One woman is famed for her domestic labours,
another for grace and chastity, another for her pious
deeds and the pains she inflicts on her body, her
tears, her prayers, and her charity ; but Nonna is
renowned for everything, and, if we may call this
death, she died while praying.
