τάδε σοὶ κατ᾽ εὐχὴν, Ζεῦ βασιλεῦ τε καὶ σῶτερ, δῶρα
ἀνάγομεν, σὺ δὲ δέξαι, καὶ ὥσπερ ἔσωσας εὐμενῶς, καὶ
προσοῦ τὰ χαριστήρια, τῷ τε λόγῳ ἐπάρκεσον καὶ παράπεμψον εἰς ὅσον ἀνθρώπου λόγον ἐξικέσθαι δυνατὸν ὡς
πλεῖστον, ὡς μὴ τελέως καταγέλαστοι γενώμεθα, μηδὲ
ἀπὸ τοῦ παντὸς πέσοιμεν. καίτοι πρὸς αὐτῷ γιγνόμενος
οὐκ ἔχω τίς γένωμαι, ἀλλὰ νῦν μοι δοκῶ καὶ σφόδρα
μανθάνειν ὡς τελέως ἄρα ἐκινδύνευον, καὶ οὐκ ἐν ἐμαυτῷ
ἦν ὑπὸ τῆς θαλάττης, κατὰ τοιούτων εὐχόμενος, ἃ μήτε
ἀποπληρῶσαι ῥᾴδιον μήτε ἐγχειρῆσαι σωφροσύνης ἴσως
ἔχει πίστιν, ὑπισχνούμενος ὕμνον ἐρεῖν Διὸς, καὶ ταῦτα
ἄνευ μέτρου. ἦ πολλὴ τότε ἦν ἡ θάλαττα καὶ πᾶν ἐποίει
