In Isthmian pankration victories three did they win by their might,
And from leaf-shadowed Nemea yet more triumphs, those glorious boys,
And their mother’s brother. How fair a portion of song to the light
Did they bring! And with brightest dews of refreshing did they rejoice
The Clan of the Psalychidae; and now have they raised to renown
By their prowess the House of Themistius; yea, and in this good town
Do they dwell, whereon the Gods with loving eyes look down.
And, honouring Hesiod’s words—“Whatsoever he findeth to do,”
That Lampon “doth with his might,” and exhorteth his sons thereto.
