Milesius sum Thales, aquam qui principem rebus creandis dixi, ut vates Pindarus, cuique olim iussu Apollinis tripodem aureum dedere piscatores extractum mari; namque hi iubente Delio me legerant, quod ille munus hoc sapienti miserat.
Milesian Thales I, who declared that water was the prime element in nature, as did the poet Pindar, and to whom at Apollos command fishermen once gave the golden tripod dredged up from the sea; for they had chosen me at the behest of the Delian god, because he had sent this gift to the Wise One.
