## Text

### book 345.1.1

Ἐγὼ Φιλαινὶς ἡ ’πίβωτος ἀνθρώποις

### book 345.1.2

ἐνταῦθα γήρᾳ τῷ μακρῷ κεκοίμημαι.

### book 345.1.3

μή μ’, ὦ μάταιε ναῦτα, τὴν ἄκραν κάμπτων

### book 345.1.4

χλεύην τε ποιεῦ καὶ γέλωτα καὶ λάσθην.

### book 345.5.1

οὐ γάρ, μὰ τὸν Ζῆν’, οὐ μὰ τοὺς κάτω κούρους,

### book 345.5.2

οὐκ ἦν ἐς ἄνδρας μάχλος οὐδὲ δημώδης·

### book 345.5.3

Πολυκράτης δὲ τὴν γενὴν Ἀθηναῖος,

### book 345.5.4

λόγων τι παιπάλημα καὶ κακὴ γλῶσσα,

### book 345

ἔγραψεν, οἷ’ ἔγραψ’· ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐκ οἶδα.
