ἤθελε μὲν βασιλεύς σε βοηθόον εἰσέτι πέμπειν
ἄστεσι τειρομένοις δευομένων μερόπων,
Τητιανὲ χρύσειε: σὺ δ᾽ ἐν βιότοιο γαλήνῃ
πατρίδα καὶ κλῆρον σὸν προβέβουλας ἔχειν,

αὔξων σῶν προγόνων κτέρας ἔνδικον ἀρχομένων γὰρ
πλοῦτον ὅτι στυγέεις σύνθρονος οἶδε Δίκη.

Golden Tetianus, the Emperor wished to send you
again to the distressed cities which had need of you ;
but you preferred a peaceful life, keeping to your
home and inheritance, and increasing the righteously
acquired fortune of your house. For Justice, en-
throned beside you, knows that you loathe to touch
wealth won from those you rule.
