On a Hermaphrodite which stood in a Bath

Codex Palatinus 23, p.483

Texts

ἀνδράσιν Ἑρμῆς εἰμι, γυναιξὶ δὲ Κύπρις ὁρῶμαι
ἀμφοτέρων δὲ φέρω σύμβολά μοι τοκέων.
τοὔνεκεν οὐκ ἀλόγως με τὸν Ἑρμαφρόδιτον ἔθεντο
ἀνδρογύνοις λουτροῖς παῖδα τὸν ἀμφίβολον.

— Paton edition

To men I am Hermes, but to women appear to be
Aphrodite, and I bear the tokens of both my parents.
Therefore not inappropriately they put me, the
Hermaphrodite, the child of doubtful sex, in a bath
for both sexes.
