ὑμῶν ἀνδρῶν ἀγαθῶν ἕτεροι μνημονεύσουσιν ἐν τοιούτοις
καιροῖς καὶ παράδειγμα ὑμᾶς καὶ τὰ ὑμέτερα πρὸς αὐτοὺς
καὶ τὰ ἑαυτῶν θήσονται πράγματα, ὥστε καὶ τῆς παρὰ
τοῖς οὖσι δόξης ἕνεκα καὶ τῆς παρὰ τοῖς ἐπιγιγνομένοις
καὶ τὸ μέγιστον τῆς ὑμετέρας αὐτῶν ἕνεκα σωτηρίας ἄξιον
φιλοτιμηθῆναι καὶ τάξαι καὶ ὑμᾶς αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ τῶν
ἀπὸ μικρῶν τῶν λοιπῶν μεγάλα τὰ ἀρχαῖα ἀναλαβόντων
ἀριθμῷ. ταῦτα καὶ τοὺς τετελευτηκότας ὑμῶν νομίζετε
δεῖσθαι πατέρας καὶ ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους οἰκείους
καὶ ἱκετεύειν πρὸς τῆς ἑαυτῶν μνήμης καὶ τοῦ λοιποῦ τῆς
πόλεως ἐδάφους, εἴ τι χαρίζεσθαι βούλεσθε αὐτοῖς, μὴ
περιιδεῖν τὸ τῆς Ῥόδου καθάπαξ ὄνομα ἀπελθὸν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπαμῦναι καὶ ἀναστῆσαι καθ᾽ ὅσον δύνασθε. ἀνασταίητε δὲ εὐτυχεστέροις καὶ βελτίοσι τοῖς συμβόλοις, Ζεῦ καὶ πάντες θεοί.
