1 | vacat Δημήτριος Παγκράτου· vacat |
πᾶσιν δακρυτὸς Δημήτριος, ὅγ γλυκὺς ὕπνος | |
εἶχεν καὶ Βρομίου νεκτάρεαι προπόσεις· | |
δούλου δ’ ἐκ χειρῶν [σ]φαγισθεὶς καὶ πυρὶ πολλῶι | |
5 | φλεχθεὶς σὺμ μελάθροις ἤλυθον εἰς Ἀΐδην, |
ὄφρα πατὴρ καὶ ὅμαιμοι ἐμοὶ καὶ πρέσβεα μήτηρ | |
δέξαντ’ εἰς κόλπους ὄστεα καὶ σποδιήν· | |
ἀλλὰ πολῖται ἐμοὶ τὸν ἐμὲ ῥέξαντα τοιαῦτα | |
θηρσὶ καὶ οἰωνοῖς ζωὸν ἀνεκρέμασαν. |
