  • Title
    The inscription of Xenokrates
  • 1 Ξενοκράτης,
    Θεόπομπος,
    Μνασίλαος.
    vacat
    4 ἁνίκα τὸ Σπάρτας ἐκράτει δόρυ, τηνάκις εἷλεν
    5 Ξεινοκράτης κλάρωι Ζηνὶ τροπαῖα φέρειν
    οὐ τὸν ἀπ’ Εὐρώτα δείσας στόλον οὐδὲ Λάκαιναν
    ἀσπίδα. “Θηβαῖοι κρείσσονες ἐν πολέμωι”
    καρύσσει Λεύκτροις νικαφόρα δουρὶ τροπαῖα,
    οὐδ’ Ἐπαμεινώνδα δεύτεροι ἐδράμομεν.
