Ἴψοι δὴ τὸ μέλαθρον,
     Υ᾽μήναον
ἀέρρετε τέκτονεσ ἄνδρεσ,
     Υ᾽μήναον
γάμβροσ ἔρχεται ἶσοσ Ά᾽ρευϊ,
     [Υ᾽μήναον]
ανδροσ μεγάλο πόλυ μείζων
     [Υ᾽μήναον] [transcription]

Raise high the roof beams, Workmen!
     Hymenaeus!
Like Ares comes the bridgroom!
     Hymenaeus!
Taller than all tall men!
     Hymenaeus!

Quoted by Hephaestion as an example of mes-hymnic poem.
