for your fame goes up to the broad heaven, as does the fame of some blameless king, who with the fear of the gods in his heart, is lord over many mighty men, upholding justice; and the black earth bears wheat and barley, and the trees are laden with fruit, the flocks bring forth young unceasingly, and the sea yields fish, all from his good leading; and the people prosper under him.
ἦ γάρ σευ κλέος οὐρανὸν εὐρὺν ἱκάνει , ὥς τέ τευ ἢ βασιλῆος ἀμύμονος , ὅς τε θεουδὴς ἀνδράσιν ἐν πολλοῖσι καὶ ἰφθίμοισιν ἀνάσσων εὐδικίας ἀνέχῃσι , φέρῃσι δὲ γαῖα μέλαινα πυροὺς καὶ κριθάς , βρίθῃσι δὲ δένδρεα καρπῷ , τίκτῃ δ' ἔμπεδα μῆλα , θάλασσα δὲ παρέχῃ ἰχθῦς ἐξ εὐηγεσίης , ἀρετῶσι δὲ λαοὶ ὑπ' αὐτοῦ .

ἦ γάρ σύ κλέος οὐρανός εὐρύς ἱκάνω , ὡς τε τις ἤ βασιλεύς ἀμύμων , ὅς τε θεουδής ἀνήρ ἐν πολύς καί ἴφθιμος ἀνάσσω εὐδικία ἀνέχω , φέρω δέ γαῖα μέλας πυρός καί κριθή , βρίθω δέ δένδρεον καρπός1 , τίκτω δέ ἔμπεδα μῆλον1 , θάλασσα δέ παρέχω ἰχθύς ἐκ εὐηγεσία , ἀρετάω δέ λαός ὑπό αὐτός .
