ὦ τύμβος, ὦ νυμφεῖον, ὦ κατασκαφὴς οἴκησις ἀείφρουρος, οἷ πορεύομαι πρὸς τοὺς ἐμαυτῆς, ὧν ἀριθμὸν ἐν νεκροῖς πλεῖστον δέδεκται Φερσέφασσ’ ὀλωλότων· ὧν λοισθία ’γὼ καὶ κάκιστα δὴ μακρῷ κάτειμι, πρίν μοι μοῖραν ἐξήκειν βίου. ἐλθοῦσα μέντοι κάρτ’ ἐν ἐλπίσιν τρέφω φίλη μὲν ἥξειν πατρί, προσφιλὴς δὲ σοί, μῆτερ, φίλη δὲ σοί, κασίγνητον κάρα· ἐπεὶ θανόντας αὐτόχειρ ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ ἔλουσα κἀκόσμησα κἀπιτυμβίους χοὰς ἔδωκα. νῦν δέ Πολύνεικες, τὸ σὸν δέμας περιστέλλουσα τοιάδ’ ἄρνυμαι. καίτοι σ’ ἐγὼ ’τίμησα τοῖς φρονοῦσιν εὖ.
