"Pontia Apseudes, luminous goddess born upon the intersected union of intricate rivers, goddess lavished in tranquility, fidelity, nascence, wisdom, I plead - gentle, humble appeals - noble offerings of rich thighbones of oxens burned in honor, figs, cheeses of the finest cattle, honey, pomegranate wine libations in golden cups engraved, sheep's warm fleece handsome in deep purples, and silver-welded sculptures by the shape of yourself; to ensure my wishes are not spoken in your denial, that you bring my prayers to pass, the offerings befitting gods of stature.
.............................Dear goddess, hear me, tireless one, Apseudes! I've come to you, the answer to all my suppliant cries for help - rescue me from the sea, the Sea-lord's curse! He devised a treacherous scheme, entrap me upon this island so, a frivolous fate! A cruel one! Allow me - no toils, no troubles - meet rejoice in home at last, the land of which I had left, searching the earth to catch some news of the great-hearted King of Athens who, they say, fought and demolished the alter I constructed suceeding my return of wars. Oh, glorious goddess of the river! Turn your mind to my passage home, for I throw myself on your mercy, on your current now!"
