                <p>Menandro.

Si doveva erigere te, o Menandro, con il tuo caro Eros,
con il quale vivendo tu compivi i dolci misteri del dio:
tu porti chiaramente sempre con te il dio, poiché anche ora
ciascuno, contemplando la tua immagine, subito ti ama.

Tu vedi il lieto compagno di amore, la Sirena dei teatri, 
questo Menandro con il capo sempre cinto di corona:
perché io insegnai agli uomini a vivere felicemente
rallegrando la scena con rappresentazioni tutte nuziali.

Non a caso io ti rizzai, o Menandro, di fronte a
questo busto di Omero, o tu a me carissimo,
ma decretò che tu ti aggiudicassi la seconda posizione dopo di lui
Aristofane, saggio giudice e grammatico, un tempo dalla chiara fama.</p>
