who is not bullied by bold-tongued envy praise the man who is skillful, as is just. All works of mortals are open to fault-finding. But truth tends

present a [crown] of songs, [of newly-combed wool],
and honor the splendor-loving hospitality which [you], Lampon, [have provided] for me; may you not regard [my gift for your son] as slight. And if it truly is flourishing Clio who has distilled this gift in my [mind],

Golden-throned Hestia, you who increase the great prosperity of the rich Agathocleadae, seated in the midst of city streets
near the fragrant river Peneius in the valleys of sheep-nurturing Thessaly. From there Aristoteles came to flourishing Cirrha, and was twice crowned,
for the glory of horse-mastering Larisa ⋯ [*]
