Νεισθω, τῳ δε Βαλων ψαιστα παρα ξοανῳ.

Τον δε γαρ ευαντητον αει θεον Αντιπατρου παις

Στησε φιλων αγαθης συμβολον ευπλοϊης.

Great Urian Jove invoke to be your guide:

Then spread the sail, and boldly stem the tide.

Whether the stormy inlet you explore,

Where the surge laves the bleak Cyanean shore,

Or down the Egean homeward bend your way,

Still as you pass the wonted tribute pay,

An humble cake of meal: for Philo here,
