Εἰ μὲν ἑκώ μυρία μέμφ εἰ δ’ αν ἔαι. ἄκρητος ὧν ὁ μὲν αὐτῶν έτηαν ἐᾶν. ς, ἀλλ’ ἐφίλησα ἀδίκημ’, ἀδικῶι.

Text follows Kaibel 1876. The epigram seems to be by Callimachus (according to EG). Εἰ μὲν ἑκώ[ν, Ἀρχῖν’, ἐπεκώμασα, μ]υρία μέμφ[ου·] εἰ δ’ [ἀέκων ἥκω, τὴν προπέτει]αν ἔαι. ἄκρητος [καὶ Ἔρως μ’ ἠνάγκασεν], ὧν ὁ μὲν αὐτῶ[ν] [εἷλκεν, ὁ δ’ οὐκ εἴα τὴν προπ]έτηαν ἐᾶν. [ἐλθὼν δ’ οὐκ ἐβόησα, τίς ἤ τίνο]ς, ἀλλ’ ἐφίλησα [τὴν φλιήν· εἰ τοῦτ’ ἐστ’] ἀδίκημ’, ἀδικῶι.
