Have¹ reverence for him who needs a home and stranger’s dole,

all ye who dwell in the high city of Cyme, the lovely maiden,

hard by the foothills of lofty Sardene,

ye who drink the heavenly water of the divine stream,

eddying Hermus, whom deathless Zeus begot.

Αἰδεῖσθε ξενίων κεχρημένον ἠδὲ δόμοιο,

οἳ πόλιν αἰπεινήν, Κύμην ἐριώπιδα κούρην,

ναίετε, Σαρδήνης πόδα νείατον ὑψικόμοιο,

ἀμβρόσιον πίνοντες ὕδωρ θείου ποταμοῖο,

Ἕρμου δινήεντος, ὃν ἀθάνατος τέκετο Ζεύς.
