Εὐπυλίδας, Ἐράτων, Χαῖρις, Λύκος, Ἆγις, Ἀλέξων
ἓξ Ἰφικρατίδα παῖδες, ἀπωλόμεθα
Μεσσάνας ὑπὸ τεῖχος: ὁ δ᾽ ἕβδομος ἄμμε Γύλιππος
ἐν πυρὶ θεὶς μεγάλαν ἦλθε φέρων σποδιάν,
Σπάρτᾳ μὲν μέγα κῦδος, Ἀλεξίππᾳ δὲ μέγ᾽ ἄχθος
ματρί τὸ δ᾽ ἓν πάντων καὶ καλὸν ἐντάφιον.

— Paton edition

Agide, Chèride, Lico, Eratone, Eupìlide, Alessi,
sei figli d'Ificràtide, cademmo
sotto Messene. Gilippo fu il settimo: pose sul rogo
noi, riportando un cumulo di cenere-
grande per Sparta la gloria, ma per Alessippa, la madre,
il lutto. Tutti in una tomba, e bella.
