εἰς ἱερὸν ποτ᾽ ἀγῶνα Μίλων μόνος ἦλθ᾽ ὁ παλαιστής:
τὸν δ᾽ εὐθὺς στεφανοῦν ἀθλοθέτης ἐκάλει.
προσβαίνων δ᾽ ὤλισθεν ἐπ᾽ ἰσχίον οἱ δ᾽ ἐβόησαν
τοῦτον μὴ στεφανοῦν, εἰ μόνος ὢν ἔπεσεν. .

ἀνστὰς δ᾽ ἐν μέσσοις ἀντέκραγεν
οὐχὶ τρί᾽ ἐστὶν

ἓν κεῖμαι: λοιπὸν τἆλλα μέ τις βαλέτω.

Milo the wrestler was once the only one who came to the sacred games, and the steward of the games called him to crown him at once. But as he was approaching he slipped and fell on his back, and the people called out: " Do not crown this man, as he got a fall when he was alone ! ” But he, standing up in their midst, shouted back : " Are there not three falls ? I fell once ; now let someone give me the other two.”
