“To our towering friendship
I've raised this little stone.
Sabinus, I will look for you forever.
If things turn out as people say
And you join the dead,
To drink from the river
That helps men forget,
Please don't drink the drop
That makes you forget me.”

“I wish fast ships had never been invented.
We wouldn't be standing here now
Mourning Sopolis, Diokleides' son.
His homeless corpse floats lost at sea
While we bow our heads in passing,
Not to him - to a name on an empty tomb.”

“If you notice this tomb at all as you pass,
Don't smirk because it only holds a dog.
I was wept for.
My master's hands heaped up this dirt,
Then cut these words into my stone.”
