Item Polydamas athleta tempestate speluncam subire coactus, nimio et subito incursu aquae labefactata ea ac ruente, ceteris comitibus fuga periculum egressis solus restitit tamquam umeris suis totius ruinae molem sustentaturus, sed pondere omni corpore humano potentiore pressus imbris petitam latebram dementis fa<c>ti <auctor> sepulcrum habuit.
Likewise the athlete Polydamas. A cave which he had entered for cover from a storm was shaken by a sudden violent influx of water and collapsed. All his companions escaped the danger by running away, only Polydamas remained, as though intending to prop up the whole falling structure with his shoulders. But a weight too great for any human frame crushed him, and in the commission of an act of folly his refuge from the rain became his sepulchre.
