αὐτὰρ Πυραίχμης ἄγε Παίονας ἀγκυλοτόξους
τηλόθεν ἐξ Αμυδῶνος ἀπ' Ἀξίου εὐρὺ ῥέοντος
Ἀξίου: οὗ κάλλιστον ὕδωρ ἐπικίδναται αἶαν:
But Pyraechmes led the Paeonians, with curved bows, from afar, out of Amydon from the wide-flowing Axius—Axius the water whereof floweth the fairest over the face of the earth.
