Ἐγὼ δὲ τοσοῦτον ἠδυνήθην τὸ σῶμα διασῶσαι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ θάψαι· καὶ πολλὰ δακρύσας καὶ στενάξας, ἀφελὼν λείψανα καὶ δυνηθεὶς εὐπορῆσαί που ἑνὸς ἐπιτηδείου λίθου στήλην ἐπέστησα τῷ τάφῳ καὶ ἐπέγραψα εἰς μνήμην τοῦ δυστυχοῦς μειρακίου ἐπίγραμμα παρʼ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖνον τὸν καιρὸν πλασάμενος Ἱππόθοος κλεινῷ τεῦξεν τόδε σῆμ’ Ὑπεράνθῃ, οὐ τάφον ἐκ θανάτου ἀγαθὸν ἱεροῖο πολίτου ἐς βάθος ἐκ γαίης, ἄνθος κλυτόν, ὅν ποτε δαίμων ἥρπασεν ἐν πελάγει μεγάλου πνεύσαντος ἀήτου.
