Thou in the wrestlers’ strife with feet unfailing
Followest thy mother’s brethren glory-hymned:
Theognotus at Olympia stood prevailing;
His, nor Kleitomachus’ fame by thee is dimmed,
The mighty-limbed
At Isthmus victor. The Midylid Clan
Dost thou exalt, who gainest that fruition
Of glory of which the Prophet spake in vision
Before Thebes’ gates, who saw in battle’s van
