Ἀνδροθέᾳ δῶρον ὁ Φωκεὺς κρατερᾶς μηδοσύνας ἦρα τίνων Ἀθάνᾳ
τᾶμος, ἐπεὶ τὰν ἱερὰν κηρὶ πυρίπνῳ πόλιν ᾐθάλωσεν
οὐκ ἐνάριθμος γεγαὼς ἐν προμάχοις Ἀχαιῶν,
νῦν δ᾽ ἐς Ὁμήρειον ἔβα κέλευθον,
τρὶς μάκαρ, ὃν σὺ θυμῷ
ὅδ᾽ ὄλβος
ἀεὶ πνεῖ.
ἵλαος ἀμφιδερχθῇς.
σὰν χάριν, ἁγνὰ πολύβουλε Παλλάς:
ἀλλ᾽ ἀπὸ κρανῶν ἰθαρᾶν νᾶμα κόμιζε δυσκλής:
Δαρδανιδᾶν, χρυσοβαφεῖς τ᾽ ἐστυφέλιξ᾽ ἐκ θεμέθλων ἄνακτας:
ὤπας1᾽ Ἐπειὸς πέλεκυν, τῷ ποκὰ πύργων θεοτεύκτων κατέρειψεν αἶπος.2
