Book VI, 343
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
The sons of Athens having subdued in the work of war the peoples of Boeotia and Chalcis, quenched veracity of the story, a story is told of the services this ship rendered. their arrogance in sorrowful iron bondage. These statues of the horses of their foes, they dedicated to Pallas as a tithe of the ransom.
