have met with your descendants, much-envied lord of rivers, and so has Troy, the city of high gates. Countless reports of your offspring tread wide paths everywhere, of your daughters
with shining belts, whom the gods established, with good fortune, as founders of cities that were never to be sacked.

Who does not know the well-built city of dark-haired Thebes,
or renowned Aegina, who went to the bed of great Zeus and bore the hero ⋯ who ⋯ the land of the Achaeans ⋯ trials ⋯

and Peirene with her twisted garland, and as many other
honorable daughters of the ancient resounding river who were overcome in the glorifying beds of gods. ⋯ city ⋯ victory ⋯ the cries of flutes ⋯

⋯ even for one who is dead
⋯ everlasting time, would always declare to later generations your victory at Nemea. A fine deed which attains genuine songs of praise is stored up on high with the gods.
With the true remembrance of men, the finest adornment of the [deep-waisted] Muses is left behind even [after death].
