1. And thus he went away from the club just as he went
With his staff, each one of their kings

2. They submitted to their guide, and the
Armies came to the council with their multitude

3. Like bees from a cave, their
Claws swarmed in a mass, crowded

4. Bearing clusters, stuck on
The light of spring, with the flowers of acacia

5. They rushed to it hosts
From every ship and tent

6. And by the sea-shore they began
To take turns, for the gathering of nations

7. And Zafes' envoy, renowned, was chosen
She went around vigorously among them

8. So they jostled, and the open country was disturbed,
And the earth complained of the heaviness of feet

9. And the clamor rose, and nine with
Their voices stood up for their fists

10. And they seized the ears for the eminent
Orators of Zafes, their spokesmen

11. Until when with effort they sat down
And silence made audible the fall of speech

12. Aga Memnon came forward
With the magnificent, supreme mace

13. It is the making of Hefaistos, and in it is the affection
Of great Zafes for the grave of the past

14. So Zafes allowed it to Arges' killer
His envoy, the wise hunter

15. And the first Philip received it as a gift
So he granted it to Atra, brother of the resolute

16. So by his death he left it best
To Theseus, renowned for bounty

17. To Aga Memnon he brought it
To judge with it the judgments of an arbiter

18. Regarding the house of Argus violently and also
With islands, and they fled near them

19. Upon it, leaning among the people
The king spoke to the whole of their gathering
