Translation (from Paton 1917, 11). «Once a hare from the mountain height leapt into the sea in her effort to
escape from a dogís cruel fangs. But not even thus did she escape her fate; for at once a sea-dog seized her and
bereft her of life. Out of the fire, as the saying is, into the flame didst thou fall. Of a truth Fate reared thee to be a
meal for a dog either on the land or in the sea».

Translation (from Paton 1917, 11). «One dog captured me after another. What is strange in that? Beasts of the
water and beasts of the land have like rage against me. Henceforth, ye hares, may the sky be open to your course.
But I fear thee, Heaven; thou too hast a dog among thy stars».

Translation (from Paton 1916, 475f.). «To Casian Zeus did Trajan, the descendant of Aeneas, dedicate these
ornaments, the king of men to the king of gods: two curiously fashioned cups and the horn of a urus mounted in
shining gold, selected from his first booty when, tirelessly fighting, he had overthrown with his spear the
insolent Getae. But, Lord of the black clouds, entrust to him, too, the glorious accomplishment of this Persian
war, that thy heartís joy may be doubled as thou lookest on the spoils of both foes, the Getae and the Arsacidae».

Translation. O archer son of Aphrodite sweetly-singing, you who are dwelling in the Eliconian Thespiae, near
the blooming garden of Narcissus, be propitious: accept what Hadrian offers to you, the best part of the bear that
he happened to kill from his horse. And you, in return for this, give him temperate inspirations from Aphrodite
in her heavenly guise.

Translation (adapted from Wood 1877, 10 no. 7). Hadrianus, a friend of the Muses, dedicated this statue to
Severus, a patriot citizen, a model of virtue of every kind, a principal man among the Greeks, and eminent
among the Italians, the dear father of the famous Quadratus, for whom wedded love built a royal chamber for a
happy married life: a statue of bronze to commemorate his patronage. To you, men of Ionia! It is ever pleasing to
see [such] statues in the precinct of Artemis.
