Ἰουλιανοῦ Καίσαρος τοῦ παραβάτου εἰς ὄργανον μουσικόν. Ἀλλοίην ὁρόω δονάκων φύσιν· ἦ που ἀπ' ἄλλης χαλκείης τάχα μᾶλλον ἀνεβλάστησαν ἀρούρης ἄγριοι· οὐδ' ἀνέμοισιν ὑπ' ἠερίοισι δονεῦνται, ἀλλ' ἀπὸ ταυρείης προθορὼν σπήλυγγος ἀήτης νέρθεν ἐυτρήτων καλάμων ὑπὸ ῥίζαν ὁδεύει. Καί τις ἀνὴρ ἀγέρωχος, ἔχων θοὰ δάκτυλα χειρῶν, ἵσταται ἀμφαφόων κανόνας συμφράδμονας αὐλῶν, οἱ δ' ἁπαλὸν σκιρτεῦντες ἀποθλίβουσιν ἀοιδήν.
