Translation(s)	All Hellas is the monument of Euripides, but the Macedonian land holds his bones, for it sheltered the end of his life. His country was Athens, the Hellas of Hellas, and as by his verse he gave exceeding delight, so from many he receiveth praise. Language English Source(s) W. Paton, 1917, The Greek Anthology. Books 7-8 (vol. 2), Cambridge: 31 Le monument d'Euripide, c'est toute la Grèce, mais ses os sont à la Macédoine, car c'est elle qui accueillit le terme de sa vie. Sa patrie, c'est la Grèce de la Grèce, Athènes. Ayant beaucoup plu de par les Muses, de beaucoup il reçoit aussi la louange. Language French Source(s) P. Waltz, 1938, Anthologie Grecque. Tome IV: Anthologie palatine, Livre VII, Épigrammes 1-363 (vol. 4), Paris: 77 Hellas, soweit es sich dehnt, ist Euripides' Denkmal; den Staub nur nahm Makedonien auf, wo er das Leben beschloss. Aber sein Heim ist Athen, das Hellas von Hellas; und freute tausend sein singen, es preist laut ihn auch Tausender Mund. Language German Source(s) H. Beckby, 1965, Anthologia Graeca.
