Book XVI, 362: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
O Calliopas, celebrated for thy achievements, what does it profit thee that thy labours are rewarded with a bronze statue by the Emperor, by this myriadthroated faction, by the whole city, considering that even the hands of the hostile faction applauded thy exploits?
