Greek Anthology 9.805

Original


Εἰς στήλην Ἄρεως κεχωσμένην ἐν Θρᾴκᾐ

εἰσόκε θούριος οὗτος ἐπὶ χθονὶ κέκλιται Ἄρης,
οὔποτε Θρηικίης ἐπιβήσεται ἔθνεα Γότθων.

Translation in Greek


Σε μια στήλη του Άρη θαμμένη στη Θράκη
 
Όσο αυτός ο ορμητικός Άρης αναπαύεται στη γη,
οι λαοί των Γότθων δεν θα πατήσουν ποτέ το πόδι τους στη Θράκη.

Translation in English


Anonymous on a Stele of Ares partly buried in Thrace

As long as this fierce Ares rests on the ground the peoples of the Goths shall never set foot in Thrace.
