Book VI, 267
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Stand here, Artemis the Saviour, with thy torch on the land of Pollis, and give thy delightful light to him and to his children. The task is easy ; for no feeble knowledge hath he from Zeus of the unerring scales of Justice. And, Artemis, let the Graces too race over this grove, treading on the flowers with their light sandals.
