Ἶσόν τοι πλουτοῦσιν ὅτῳ πολὺς ἄργυρός ἐστι
καὶ χρυσὸς καὶ γῆς πυροφόρου πεδία
ἵπποι θ᾽ ἡμίονοί τε , καὶ ᾧ μόνα ταῦτα πάρεστι ,
γαστρί τε καὶ πλευρῇς καὶ ποσὶν ἁβρὰ παθεῖν
ταῦτ᾽ ἄφενος θνητοῖσι : τὰ γὰρ περιώσια πάντα
χρήματ᾽ ἔχων οὐδεὶς ἔρχεται εἰς Ἀΐδεω :
οὐδ᾽ ἄν ἄποινα διδοὺς θάνατον φύγοι οὐδὲ βαρείας
νούσους οὐδὲ κακὸν γῆρας ἐπερχόμενον .

Equal
to
you
being
wealthy
,
to
whom
there
is
much
silver
and
gold
and
fields
of
wheat-bearing
earth
and
both
horses
and
mules
,
and
to
whom
these
things
alone
are
present
to
have
splendid
things
for
both
the
belly
and
the
ribs
and
the
feet
;
these
things
are
wealth
for
mortals
.
For
no
one
goes
into
Hades
bearing
all
the
countless
things
but
he
would
not
flee
death
offering
ransom
,
nor
grevious
disease
not
evil
age
coming
upon
