ἀσπίδι μὲν Σαίων τις ἀγάλλεται, ἣν παρὰ θάμνῳ,Some Saian takes pleasure in my shield, which beside a bush,
ἔντος ἀμώμητον, κάλλιπον οὐκ ἔθέλων:the fine armour, threw I against my will.
αὐτον δ' ἔξεσάωσα. τί μοι μέλει ἀσπὶς ἔκείνη;But I saved myself. What is to me that shield?
ἔρρέτω: ἔξαῦτις κτήσομαι οὐ κακίω.Let it go. Soon I'll get no worse.
