δῶρον Ἰουστίνοιο τυραννοφόνου βασιλῆος
καὶ Σοφίης ἀλόχου, φέγγος ἐλευθερίης,
ὡράων σκοπίαζε σοφὸν σημάντορα χαλκὸν
αὐτῆς ἐκ μονάδος μέχρι δυωδεκάδος,

ὅντινα συληθέντα Δίκης θρόνον ἡνιοχεύων
εὗρεν Ἰουλιανὸς χερσὶν ἀδωροδόκοις.

Look, Light of Freedom,¹ on this gift of our
emperor Justin,² the tyrannicide, and his wife
Sophia, this skilled bronze indicator of the hours
from one to twelve. It had been stolen, and
Julianus the Praetorian Prefect recovered it with
incorruptible hands.
