This was dedicated to the gods of the underworld. Not yet having tasted youth, I slipped into the realm of Hades, leaving behind tears and groans to my parents for my short time. Nor was I meant to reach the life span of mortals. I lived only seven years and two months, of which three years I accomplished and spoke the rites (orgia) for Dionysos. (10) My father and revered mother called me Herophilos. Oh passerby, you now know who I was. I was not even brought into being.
