γεραίρουσʼ ἐπινικίοις

Πανθείδα φίλον υἱόν.

Ode 2 For Argeius of Ceos Boys' Boxing Match (?) at the Isthmus Date unknown

Fame, whose gifts are revered, speed to holy Ceos bringing the gracious message:

that Argeius won the victory in the battle of bold hands,

and brought to mind the fine deeds which we, from the holy island of Euxantius, have shown at the famous neck of the Isthmus,

winning seventy garlands.

the native Muse summons the sweet clang of flutes, honoring the dear son of Pantheides with victory songs.
