πᾶσαν ὅση σοφίη λεπτῆς φρενὸς ἐν μερόπεσσιν
ἀμφὶ γεωμετρίην καὶ θέσιν οὐρανίων,
καὶ λογικῆς τέχνης τὰ παλαίσματα, γραμματικήν τε
ἠδ᾽ ἰητορίην, ῥητορικῆς τε μένος,

Καισάριος πτερόωντι νόῳ μοῦνος καταμάρψας,
αἰαῖ: πᾶσιν ὁμῶς νῦν κόνις ἐστ᾽ ὀλίγη.

— Paton edition

Carsarius, who alone by his winged mind grasped
the whole wisdom of man’s subtle thought con-
cerning geometry and the position of the heavenly
bodies, and also the falls of the art of Logic,
and Grammar too and Medicine and powerful
Rhetoric, is now, alas ! like all the rest, a handful of
dust.
