Ἡμάξευσα καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ τρισδύστηνος Ἄναξις
τοῦτον δύσζῳον κοὐ βίοτον βίοτον.
οὐ μὴν πολλὸν ἐπὶ χρόνον ἤλασα: λὰξ δὲ πατήσας
λυσσώδη ζωήν, ἤλυθον εἰς Ἀίδεω.

— Paton edition

I, too, thrice unhappy Anaxis, carted along the
burden of this weary life that is no life. Yet I did
not pull it for long, but spurning from me this
distraught life I went to Hades.
