	ὡς ἀπὸ τῆς βίβλου λυκόφρονος λεγούσης ταῦτα·

	Οὐκ ἂν ἐν ἡμετέροισι πολυγνάμπτοις λαβυρίνθοις
	ῥηιδίως προμόλοις ἐς φάος αἴ κε τύχῃς·
	τοίους γὰρ πριαμὶς κασάνδρη φοίβασε μύθους
	ἄγγελος οὓς βασιλεῖ ἔφρασε λοξοτρόχις·
	εἰ δέ σε φίλατο καλλιόπη λάβε μ’ ἐς χέρας· ἢν δὲ
	νῆις ἔφυς μουσέων χερσὶ βάρος φορέεις:
