καὶ μὴν ἔμοιγε ζῶντι μέν, καθ’ ἡμέραν
κεἰ σμίκρ’ ἔχοιμι, πάντ’ ἂν ἀρκούντως ἔχοι·
τύμβον δὲ βουλοίμην ἂν ἀξιούμενον
τὸν ἐμὸν ὁρᾶσθαι· διὰ μακροῦ γὰρ ἡ χάρις.

For me, while I am alive, I would be happy with my lot
even if I had only a little.
But my tomb I would like to be good to look at.
That benefit lasts a long time.
