Death & Dying
Book VII, 228
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
Androtion built me for himself, his children and his wife. As yet I am no one’s grave and so may I remain for long; but if it must be so, may I give earlier welcome to the earlier born.
