Μνησίλοχος

ὦ χεῖρες ἐμαὶ

ἐγχειρεῖν χρῆν ἔργῳ πορίμῳ.

ἄγε δὴ πινάκων ξεστῶν δέλτοι,

δέξασθε σμίλης ὁλκοὺς

κήρυκας ἐμῶν μόχθων· οἴμοι
780

τουτὶ τὸ ῥῶ μοχθηρόν·

χώρει χώρει. ποίαν αὔλακα;

βάσκετʼ ἐπείγετε πάσας καθʼ ὁδοὺς

κείνᾳ ταύτᾳ· ταχέως χρή.

Mnesilochus

Oh! my hands, keep up your courage, for my safety is at stake. Come, my beautiful tablets, receive the traces of my stylus 780 and be the messengers of my sorry fate. Oh! oh! this R looks miserable enough! Where is it running to then? Come, off with you in all directions, to the right and to the left; and hurry yourselves, for there's much need indeed!
