χρυσὸς μὲν Ῥοδίοισιν ἐπέκλυσε: σοὶ δ᾽ ἀπὸ τύμβων
χρυσὸν φέρει σίδηρος, ὃς κακὸν φέρει:
ὄρυσσ᾽ ὄρυσσε πάντας: ἦ τάχ᾽ἂν σέ τις
τύμβος κ᾽ ἐξολέσειε πεσών, νεκύεσσι δ᾽ ἀρήγοι.

— Paton edition

It once rained gold on Rhodes, and the iron that
brings evil brings gold to thee from tombs. Dig
them all up; perhaps some tomb will fall on thee
and help the dead.
