Prevod

Two roosters met and fought, as was their custom. The defeated bird crept beneath a bed and hid, while the victor flew up onto the roof and crowed at the top of his voice, proclaiming his triumph. Then an eagle swooped down, seized him, and carried him off.

In victory, safety lies in humility.

Ἀλεκτρυόνες συμπεσόντες ἀλλήλοις, ὡς νόμος εἶχεν, ἐμάχοντο. Καὶ ὁ μὲν νικηθεὶς κλίνῃ ὑποδὺς ἀπεκρύπτετο, ὁ δὲ νενικηκὼς ἐπὶ στέγους ἀρθεὶς ἀνέκραγε μέγιστον, τὴν νίκην κατάδηλον ἐξ ᾠδῆς ἐργαζόμενος. Καὶ καταπτὰς ἀετὸς τοῦτον ἁρπάζει λαβών.

Νίκῃς ἀσφάλεια μετριότης φρονήματος.
