| Πρῶτα μὲν εὐοδίαν ἀγαθὴν ἀπιόντι ποητῇ | Peace go with him and joy in his journeying ! Guide ye our poet |
| εἰς φάος ὀρνυμένῳ δότε, δαίμονες οἱ κατὰ γαίας, | Forth to the light, ye Powers that reign in the Earth and below it ; |
| τῇ δὲ πόλει μεγάλων ἀγαθῶν ἀγαθὰς ἐπινοίας. | Send good thoughts with him, too, for the aid of a travailing nation. |
| πάγχυ γὰρ ἐκ μεγάλων ἀχέων παυσαίμεθ᾽ ἂν οὕτως | So shall we rest at the last, and forget our long desolation, |
| ἀργαλέων τ᾽ ἐν ὅπλοις ξυνόδων. Κλεοφῶν δὲ μαχέσθω | War and the clashing of wrong. — And for Cleophon, why, if he'd rather, |
| κἄλλος ὁ βουλόμενος τούτων πατρίοις ἐν ἀρούραις. | Let him fight all alone with his friends, in the far-off fields of his father. |
