Ἄγχουροι μεγάλαι κόσμου χθόνες, ἃς διὰ Νεῖλος
πιμπλάμενος μελάνων τέμνει ἀπ᾽ Αἰθιόπων,

ἀμφότεραι βασιλῆας ἐκοινώσασθε γάμοισιν,
ἓν γένος Αἰγύπτου καὶ Λιβύης θέμεναι.

ἐκ πατέρων εἴη παισὶν πάλι τοῖσιν ἀνάκτων
ἔμπεδον ἠπείροις σκῆπτρον ἐπ᾽ ἀμφοτέραις.

Great neighboring regions of the world, which the Nile, swollen from black Ethiopia, divides, you have created common kings for both through marriage, making one race of Egyptians and Libyans. Let the children of kings in turn hold from their fathers a strong rule over both lands
