ζῶσε δὲ καὶ κόσμησε θεὰ γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη ἀργυφέη ἐσθῆτι: κατὰ κρῆθεν δὲ καλύπτρην δαιδαλέην χείρεσσι κατέσχεθε, θαῦμα ἰδέσθαι: ἀμφὶ δέ οἱ στεφάνους, νεοθηλέος ἄνθεα ποίης, ἱμερτοὺς περίθηκε καρήατι Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη. ἀμφὶ δέ οἱ στεφάνην χρυσέην κεφαλῆφιν ἔθηκε, τὴν αὐτὸς ποίησε περικλυτὸς Ἀμφιγυήεις ἀσκήσας παλάμῃσι, χαριζόμενος Διὶ πατρί.
