	Ἑπτὰ σοφῶν ἐρέω κατ’ ἔπος πόλιν, οὔνομα, φωνήν:·
	Μέτρον μὲν κλεόβουλος ὁ λίνδιος εἶπεν ἄριστον·
	Χίλων δ’ ἐν κοίλη λακεδαίμονι, γνῶθι σεαυτόν·
	Ὅς δὲ κόρινθον ἔναιε· χόλου κρατέειν περίανδρος·
	Πιττακὸς οὐδὲν ἄγαν· ὃς ἔην γένος ἐκ μιτυλήνης·
	Τέρμα δ’ ὁρᾶν βιότοιο, σόλων ἱεραῖς ἐν ἀθήναις·
	Τοὺς πλέονας κακίους δὲ· βίας ἀπέφῃνε πριηνεύς.
	Ἐγγύην φεύγειν δὲ· θαλής μιλήσιος ηὔδα:+
