Death & Dying
Book VIII, 19: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
I am the scion of no holy root, but the head of a pious wife and of three children. I ruled over a flock united in spirit, from which I departed full of earthly and heavenly years.
