Lazy one, hear what seems best in my sight. When all the people are looking forth from the city upon her as she speeds on her way, then turn her to stone nearby the land—a stone in the shape of a swift ship, that all men may marvel; and fling a great mountain about their city.
&quot; ὢ πέπον , ὡς μὲν ἐμῷ θυμῷ δοκεῖ εἶναι ἄριστα , ὁππότε κεν δὴ πάντες ἐλαυνομένην προΐδωνται λαοὶ ἀπὸ πτόλιος , θεῖναι λίθον ἐγγύθι γαίης νηῒ θοῇ ἴκελον , ἵνα θαυμάζωσιν ἅπαντες ἄνθρωποι , μέγα δέ σφιν ὄρος πόλει ἀμφικαλύψαι . &quot;
&quot; ὦ πέπων , ὡς μέν ἐμός θυμός δοκέω εἰμί ἄριστον , ὁπότε ἄν δή πᾶς ἐλαύνω προεῖδον λαός ἀπό πόλις , τίθημι λίθος ἐγγύθι γαῖα ναῦς θοός ἴκελος , ἵνα θαυμάζω ἅπας ἄνθρωπος , μέγας δέ σφεῖς ὄρος πόλις ἀμφικαλύπτω . &quot;
