ἀθανάτοιϲιν ὅμοια πόρεϲ κλυτὰ ἔργα πόληι
ἥρωϲ εὐϲεβίηϲ θεοτέρπεοϲ ἔνπνοοϲ εἰκών
τοὔνεκα νῦν νάειϲ Εὐπείθιε καὶ πόλον ἄϲτρων
ψυχὴν ἀμπνεύϲαϲ ὅτε Μαρτίου ἦμαρ ἔπαιζες

[^a1: at 2: ο . . νιοος εἰκών | ἔνπνοος εἰκών]

[^a2: at 3: κὰ(π) πόλον | καὶ πόλον]

[^a3: at 4: . . . ε παίζω[ν] | ἧμαρ ἔπαιζε[ς]]

You have provided illustrious works for the city, hero, living image of god-delighting piety. For this reason, Eupeithios, you now dwell among the stars, after you exhaled your soul, while playing in the day of March ([^1] while the day of March was playing)

[^1: or]

[^2]: You have provided illustrious works for the city like those of the immortals, O Eupeithios, god-delighting hero, living image of piety

[^2: Lines 1-2]

Berühmte Bauwerke hast du der Stadt gegeben, du Heros, Abbild der Frömmigkeit, an der Gott seine Freude hat; deshalb wohnst du, Eupeithios, nun am Himmelsgewöhlbe, nachdem du deine Seele spielend nach oben gehaucht hast, als . . . des März . . . ?[^3] als du den Tag des März im Spiel begingst

[^3: or]
