And the sweet flute bestow some favor;

For Zeus' Pierian daughters

Have wide fame.

TO ASOPICHUS OF ORCHOMENOS, ON HIS VICTORY IN THE STADIC COURSE

Olympia xiv

O ye, who inhabit for your lot the seat of the Cephisian

Streams, yielding fair steeds, renowned Graces,

Ruling bright Orchomenos,

Protectors of the ancient race of Minyæ,

Hear, when I pray.
