Which at Thera Medea spake, which the daughter passionate-willed + 

Of Aietes, the Colchian princess, breathed from immortal lips + 

“Hearken to me, ye scions of warriors mighty-souled, + 

Ye that of Gods be descended, to the thing of my tongue foretold: + 

Lo, from this land of Thera that is scourged by the brine of the sea + 

Shall in Epaphus’ daughter Libya be planted in days to be + 

A root that shall grow into cities that mortals shall hold full dear. + 

To the temple-foundations of Ammon, of Libyan Zeus, lying near. + 
