Book XV, 49: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
To thee alone, both during thy racing days and after thou hadst ceased to contend, did Victory give this reward thrice, Uranius, from each faction. For formerly among the Blues thou didst wear the crown for twenty illustrious years. But then thou didst cease from horsemanship, and the faction of the Greens sought thee. To them thou didst give victory, and they to thee this reward.
