ὦ τῆς ταχίστης ἁρπαγῆς τῆς τοῦ βίου:
ἀνὴρ δανειστὴς, τῶν χρόνων γλύφων τόκους,
τέθνηκεν εὐθὺς ἐν ῥοπῆς καιρῷ βραχεῖ,
ἐν δακτύλοισι τοὺς τόκους σφίγγων ἔτι.

— Paton edition

O swiftest ravishment of life! A money-lender, while marking down on his tablets the interest of years, died instantly in the space of a moment, still grasping his interest in his fingers .
