XII. On a Tripod dedicated to Bacchus by Demoteles.

Demoteles, who near this sacred shrine
This tripod plac'd, with thee, O god of wine!
Whom blithest of the deities we call,
In all things prov'd, was temperate in all:
In manly dance the victory he gain'd,
And fair the tenor of his life maintain'd.
