Besedilo
Konj in mlinar
Old age weighed heavily on a horse, and in place of battle he found himself in a mill. Forced to grind grain instead of fighting, he wept over his present lot and recalled his former life. “Once, miller,” he said, “I used to go to war, with fine trappings covering my whole body and a man walking beside me to tend me. But now, through some misfortune I cannot fathom, I have exchanged the battlefield for the mill.” “Stop harping on the past,” the miller replied. “Fortune knows how to change mortal lives for better or for worse.”

Ἵππον ἐλύπει τὸ γῆρας, καὶ μυλῶνα ἀντὶ μάχης ἐλάμβανεν. Ὡς δὲ ἀλήθειν ἀντὶ τοῦ πολεμεῖν ἡναγκάζετο, τὴν παροῦσαν ἐδάκρυε τύχην, τῆς δὲ πρώτης ἐμέμνητο „ἐμοὶ“ λέγων, „ὦ μυλωρὲ, στρατεύεσθαι μὲν ὑπῆρχε πρότερον, κόσμος δὲ παντὶ περιέκειτο τῷ σώματι, καὶ θεραπεύων παρηλοκούθει τις ἂνθρωπος· νῦν δὲ οὐκ οἱδ’ ὅτι παθών ἀντιλαμβάνω τὸν μυλῶνα τῆς μάχης. Καὶ ὁ μυλωρὸς πρὸς αὐτὸν ,,ἐπίσχες“ ἔφη „τὰ παλαιὰ θρυλλῶν· ἡ τύχη γὰρ θνητοῖς τὴν ἐφʼ ἑκάτερα φέρειν οἶδε μεταβολήν.“
