When thou earnest to ask what healing the Gods would grant of their grace + 

For thy stammering tongue. Of a surety now in the latter days, + 

As when mid the springtide’s roses a burgeoning tree is seen, + 

So, eighth in the line of Battus, Arkesilas’ leaf is green. + 

Even him did Apollo and Pytho cause to be triumph-renowned + 

In the chariot-race in the presence of all folk dwelling around. + 

I will hymn his fame to the Song-queens, and will sing of the Golden Fleece, + 

Of the Minyans’ Quest and the sowing of god-given glory for these. + 
