καὶ τίς ἔφυ σοφὸς ὧδε; τίς ἔργον ἔρεξε τοσοῦτον,
ὅσσον ὁ παντοδαὴς ἤνυσε Δημόκριτος;

ὃς θάνατον παρεόντα τρί᾽ ἤματα δώμασιν ἔσχεν,
καὶ θερμοῖς ἄρτων ἄσθμασιν ἐξένισεν.

— Paton edition

Tanto sapiente chi fu? Chi d'un'opera simile autore
a quella di Democrito onnisciente?
Lui, come venne la morte, tre giorni in casa la tenne
ospite, al fiato caldo dei panini.

— Anthologia Graeca cum versione Latina Hugonis Grotii

καὶ τίς ἔφυ σοφὸς ὧδε ; τίς ἔργον ἔρεξε τοσοῦτον ,
ὅσσον παντοδαὴς ἤνυσε Δημόκριτος ;

ὃς θάνατον παρεόντα τρί ἤματα δώμασιν ἔσχεν ,
καὶ θερμοῖς ἄρτων ἄσθμασιν ἐξένισεν .

Who was ever so wise , who wrought such a deed
as omniscient Democritus , who had Death for three
days in his house and entertained him with the hot
steam of bread ?
