τὸν ϲοφὸν ἥδε πόλιϲ Εὐπείθιον εἵνεκα πάντων
ϲτήϲατο λαϊνέην εἰκόνα δειμαμένη
μνωομένη μετὰ πότμον ὅτ' ἀνδράϲιν αἶνοϲ ἀληθὴϲ
τίνεται ἀνδρομέηϲ ἔκτοθι βασκανίηϲ

This city had made and set up a stone image of the wise Eupeithios because of everything, recalling that it is after death that true praise, beyond human envy, is accorded to men.

Du sage Eupeithios, pour tous ses mérites, notre cité a éxecuté et dressé une statue de marbre: elle se souvient que c'est après leur mort qu'une vraie louange, libérée de l'humaine jalousie, rend aux hommes ce qui leur est dû.

Diese Stadt hat den weisen Eupeithios in steinerner Statue aufgebaut wegen all (seiner Verdienste); sie erinnert daran, dass der wahre Ruhm den Männern nach dem Tode gezollt word, wenn der menschliche Neid ausser Betracht bleibt.
