... ἐμεῖο δὲ καὶ μετόπισθε μνήσασθ᾿, ὁππότε κέν τις ἐπιχθονίων ἀνθρώπων ἐνθάδ᾿ ἀνείρηται ξεῖνος ταλαπείριος ἐλθών· ‘ὦ κοῦραι, τίς δ᾿ ὔμμιν ἀνὴρ ἥδιστος ἀοιδῶν ἐνθάδε πωλεῖται, καὶ τέωι τέρπεσθε μάλιστα;’ ὑμεῖς δ᾿ εὖ μάλα πᾶσαι ὑποκρίνασθαι ἀφήμως· ‘τυφλὸς ἀνήρ, οἰκεῖ δὲ Χίωι ἔνι παιπαλοέσσηι· τοῦ πᾶσαι μετόπισθεν ἀριστεύουσιν ἀοιδαί.’

... but remember me forever more, when one of the people who dwell on earth, some stranger who has suffered much, comes here and asks: ‘Girls, which man is the most pleasant singer to you who comes here, and in whom do you delight most?’ Then you will all answer, with one voice: ‘He is a blind man, and lives on rocky Khios. All his songs are forever more supreme.’
