Book IX, 650: On an Inn situated between the Zeuxippus and the Hippodrome
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
On the one side I have close by me the Zeuxippus, a pleasant bath, and on the other the race-course. After seeing the races at the latter and taking a bath in the former, come and rest at my hospitable table. Then in the afternoon you will be in plenty of time for the other races, reaching the course from your room quite near at hand.
