γαῖαν τὴν φερέκαρπον ὅσην ἔζωσε περίχθων
ὠκεανὸς μεγάλῳ Καίσαρι πειθομένην,
καὶ γλαυκήν με θάλασσαν ἀπηκριβώσατο Καρπὼ
κερκίσιν ἱστοπόνοις πάντ᾽ ἀπομαξαμένη:

Καίσαρι δ᾽ † ακείνου χάρις ἤλθομεν ἦν γὰρ ἀνάσσης
δῶρα φέρειν τὰ θεοῖς καὶ πρὶν ὀφειλόμενα.

In me Carpo, imitating all by her shuttle's labour
at the loom, depicted accurately all the fruitful land,
encompassed by Ocean, that obeys great Caesar, and
the blue sea as well. I come to Caesar as a present
. . . ., for it was the queen's duty to offer the gift
long due to the gods.²
