To Hypaphloros the Deacon.
Do not lose heart, but play the man with a noble resolve. For the brave man, even should he find himself among wounds, will assuredly conquer, fighting on even when wounded.
Μὴ ἀθυμήσῃς, ἀλλ’ ἀνδρίζου γενναίῳ φρονήματι. Ὁ γὰρ ἀνδρεῖος κἂν ἐν τραύμασι γένηται, πάντως νικήσει καὶ τραυματίας μαχόμενος.
