Prevod

A river was carrying along two pots, one of earthenware and the other of bronze. The earthenware pot said to the bronze one, “Float well away from me, not close by; for if you so much as touch me, I shall shatter, even if I have no wish to touch you.” So precarious is a poor man’s life when a powerful ruler lives nearby.

Χύτραν ὀστρακίνην καὶ χαλκῆν ποταμὸς κατέφερεν. Ἡ δὲ ὀστρακίνη τῇ χαλκῇ ἔλεγεν· ,,μακρόθεν μου κολύμβα, καὶ μὴ πλησίον· ἐὰν γάρ μοι σὺ προσψψαύσῃς, κατακλῶμαι, κἂν [τε] ἐγὼ μὴ θέλω σοι προσψαῦσαι.“

“Οτι ἐπισφαλής ἐστι βίος πένητι, δυναστοῦ ἂρχοντος πλησίον παροικοῦντος.
