Texts

παρθένος εὐπατέρεια Δίκη, πρέσβειρα πολήων,
οὐ τὸν ἐν εὐσεβίῃ χρυσὸν ἀποστρέφεται:
ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὰ τάλαντα Διὸς πάγχρυσα τελέσθη,
οἷσι ταλαντεύει πάντα νόμον βιότου:
καὶ τότε δὴ χρύσεια πατὴρ ἐτίταινε τάλαντα,
εἰ μὴ Ὁμηρείων ἐξελάθου χαρίτων.

— Paton edition

The high-born virgin Justice, patroness of cities,
does not turn her face away from gold that is asso-
ciated with piety, but the very scales of Zeus with
which he weighs every law of life are of solid gold,
“ Then did the Father hold out the scales of gold,”
if thou hast not forgotten the beauties of Homer.
