μὴ θείας τινὸς καὶ τρισολβίας ὄντως λήξεως ἀπολαῦσαι, Πίνδαρος ὁ λυρικὸς ταύτην ὑμῶν ἐκβαλέτω τὴν δόξαν, λέγων ὡδί· ψυχαὶ δ' ... εὐσεβῶν, ἐν οὐρανοῖς ναίουσαι, μολπαῖς μάκαρα μέγαν ἀείδουσ' ἐν ὕμνοις. Εἰ δὲ τῶν εὐσεβῶς βεβιωκότων οὐρανὸς ἐνδιαίτημα, ταύτην ἔχουσι τὴν λῆξιν οἱ μάρτυρες· τούτων γὰρ οὐδὲν εὐσεβέστερον· καὶ Ἐμπεδοκλῆς δὲ ὁ Ἀκραγαντῖνος οὕτω φησίν· εἰς δὲ τέλος μάντεις τε καὶ ὑμνοπόλοι καὶ ἰητροὶ καὶ πρόμοι ἀνθρώποισιν ἐπιχθονίοισι πέλονται· ἔνθεν ἀναβλαστοῦσι θεοὶ τιμῇσι φέριστοι.
