## Text

### book 1

Κούρα Πάλλαντος πολυώνυμε, πότνια Νίκα, [para]πρόφρων Κρανναίων ἱμερόεντα χορὸν αἰὲν ἐποπτεύοις, πολέας δ’ ἐν ἀθύρμασι Μουσᾶν [para]Κηΐῳ ἀμφιτίθει Βακχυλίδῃ στεφάνους.

### book 2

Εὔδημος τὸν νηὸν ἐπ’ ἀγροῦ τόνδ’ ἀνέθηκεν [para]τῷ πάντων ἀνέμων πιοτάτῳ Ζεφύρῳ. Εὐξαμένῳ γάρ οἱ ἦλθε βοηθόος, ὄφρα τάχιστα λικμήσῃ πεπόνων καρπὸν ἀπ’ ἀσταχύων.
