I with the Clan Theandrid covenanted + 

To be their herald: lo, my lips have chanted + 

Their prowess! Of those contests is my song + 

Which make the thews of champions passing strong. + 

Olympia, Isthmus, Nemea⁠—wheresoever + 

They prove their might amid the athlete-throng, + 

Without renown for fruit they turn back never + 

Home, Timasarchus, where thy clan, ’tis told, + 

In victory-crowns pre-eminence doth hold. + 

If thou wouldst bid me rear, besides all these, + 

Unto thy mother’s brother Kallikles + 
