οἱ τύμβοι φθιμένοισιν ἀρήξατε εἶπον ἅπαντες,
ἡνίχ᾽ ὁ λυσσήεις τόνδ᾽ ἐτίνασσε τάφον.
οἱ νέκυες τύμβοισι:
ῥέξομεν; αὖθις ἀέρθη

ὡς ἐπὶ βουκτασίᾐ γαῖαν ἀφεῖσα Δίκη.

— Paton edition

The tombs all cried "Help the dead!" when the
furious spoiler was breaking up this tomb. The dead
cry to the tombs, "What shall we do? Justice has
left the earth and flown up to heaven again, even as
she did at the first slaying of oxen."
