[κατὰ σπέ]ος δὲ παῖδʼ ἐφίτυσεν μόνον·
[τοῦτον δὲ] χερσὶ ταῖς ἐμαῖς ἐγὼ τρέφω·
[μητρὸς γ]ὰρ ἰσχὺς ἐν νόσῳ χειμάζεται·
[κἀδεστ]ὰ καὶ ποτῆτα καὶ κοιμήματα
275
[πρὸς σπ]αργάνοις μένουσα λικνῖτιν τροφὴν
[ἐξευθ]ετίζω νύκτα καὶ καθʼ ἡμέραν.
[ὁ δʼ α]ὔξεται κατʼ ἦμαρ οὐκ ἐπεικότα
[μέγι]στος, ὥστε θαῦμα καὶ φόβος μʼ ἔχει.
[οὔπω γ]ὰρ ἑκτὸν ἦμαρ ἐκπεφασμέν[ο]ς
280
[γυίοι]ς ἐρείδει παιδὸς εἰς ἥβης ἀκμήν,
[κἀξορ]μενίζει κοὐκέτι σχολάζεται
[βλάστη·] τοιόνδε παῖδα θησαυρὸς στέγει.
[δυσεύρε]τός [τʼ ἔτʼ] ἐστι τοῦ πατρὸς θέσει.
[ἀφανεῖ δʼ ὃ πεύθῃ φ]θέγμα μηχανῇ βρέμ[ον
285
καὶ π[όλ]λʼ ἐθά]μβεις αὐτὸ]ς, ἡμέρᾳ μιᾳ
ἐξ ὑπτίας κ[ίστη γʼ ἐμηχ]ανήσατο·
τοιόνδε θη[ρὸς ἐκ θανόντ]ος ἡδονῆς
ἔμμεστον α[γγος εὗρε κ]αὶ κάτω δ[ονεῖ.]
