α. τίς βυθὸν ἠπείρωσε; τίς ἐν ῥοθίοισιν ἔτευξεν
ἀκτὴν ἀμφιρύτην λάεσι μαρμαρέοις;
τίς δ᾽ ἐνὶ κύμασι τεῦξε ποτὸν πλωτῆρας ἀφύσσειν,
αὐτῶν ἐκ νηῶν χερσὶν ἀρυομένους;

β. οὗτος ὁ ποικιλόμητις ἀνὴρ Βενέτιος ἀμύμων,
κτίσμασι νικήσας Θησέα καὶ Πέλοπα.

A. Who made the deep dry land, who amid the
surges built out of marble a shore washed on both
sides by the sea ? And who enabled the sailors to
obtain water in the midst of the waves, drawing it
with their hands even from the deck ? B. This
resourceful man, noble Venetius, who surpassed
Theseus and Pelops¹ by his creations.
