 * σῖγα σῖγα, λευκὸν ἴχνος ἀρβύλης // τίθετε, μὴ κτυπεῖτ᾽· // ἀποπρὸ βᾶτ᾽ ἐκεῖσ᾽, ἀποπρό μοι κοίτας. // ἐν γὰρ δὴ τούτοις τὸ ‛σῖγα σῖγα λευκὸν’ ἐφ᾽ ἑνὸς φθόγγου μελῳδεῖται, καίτοι τῶν τριῶν λέξεων ἑκάστη βαρείας τε τάσεις ἔχει καὶ ὀξείας.
 * Be silent! Silent! Let the sandal’s tread // Be light, no jarring sound. // Depart ye hence afar, and from his bed withdraw. // In these lines the words σῖγα σῖγα λευκόν are sung on one note; and yet each of the three words has both low and high pitch. ― translation from: Stephen Usher, opere citato LCL 466 (1985), chapter xi, paragraph 4, page 81, lines 5–10
