We reached Brundisium on November 24, enjoying your good fortune in navigation. So beautifully did the gentlest Onchesmites blow for us from Epirus. If you wish, sell this wind, moving in stately rhythm, to any of your poets as your own.

Nous sommes arrivés à Brindes le septième jour avant les calendes de décembre, profitant de ta bonne fortune en navigation. Le très doux Onchesmites a soufflé si joliment pour nous depuis l’Épire. Si tu veux, vends ce vent qui marche au rythme du spondée à l’un des tiens comme étant ta propriété.
