- Potters, if you will give me a reward, I will sing for you.
- Come, then, Athena, with hand upraised[*](i.e. in protection.) over the kiln.
- Let the pots and all the dishes turn out well

- and be sold in plenty in the market, and plenty in the streets.
- Grant that the potters may get great gain and grant me so to sing to them.
