Book IX, 697: On another part of the same Portico
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
It beseemed thee, Theodorus, to adorn the columned temple of Fortune by such a wonderful work, and to give splendid gifts to Constantinople, city of the golden shield, which made thee consul and sees thee for the third time prefect.
