If Thucydides is
North of Xenophon
Take five steps
In the area of his direction
A green tower of lights
In the middle section
Near those
Who pass the coliseum
With metal walls
Face the water
Your back to the stairs
Feel at home
All the letters
Are here to see
Eighteenth day
Twelfth hour
Lit by lamplight
In truth, be free.
Beneath two countries
As the road curves
In a rectangular plot
Beneath the tenth stone
From right to left
Beneath the ninth row from the top
Of the wall including small bricks
Seven steps up you can hop
From the bottom level
Socrates, Pindar, Apelles
Free speech, couplet, birch
To find casque’s destination
Seek the columns
For the search.
謎を解2篇の詩
第3の詩・ 訳
もしトゥキュディデスが
クセノフォンの北にいれば
彼の方角の地域で
5 歩進め
中央部の
光の緑色の塔
金属の壁をもつ
コロシアムを通り過ぎる
ものどもの近く
階段にきみの背を向けるように
水に向かえ
気を楽にせよ
あらゆる文字が
ここに見える
18日目
12時間目
ランプの明かりに照らされ
ほんとうに自由であれ

謎を解2篇の詩
第4の詩・ 訳
ふたつの国の下
道路が曲がると
長方形の敷地のなか
小さなレンガを含む壁の
右から左へ
10番目の石の下
てっぺんから9列目の下
いちばん下から
きみは7段飛びあがることができる
ソクラテス、ピンダロス、 アペルス
言論の自由、二行連句、かばの木
かぶとの行方を見つけるために
さがすうちに
円柱を求めよ

If Thucydides is
To the north of Xenophon
In the area of his direction
Take five steps
In the middle section
A green tower of lights
Near those
Who pass the coliseum
With metal walls
Face the water
Your back to the stairs
Feel at home
All the letters
Are here to see
Eighteenth day
Twelfth hour
Lit by lamplight
In truth, be free.

Beneath two countries
Where the road bends
Within a rectangular plot
Of a wall containing small bricks
From right to left
Beneath the tenth stone
Beneath the ninth row from the top
From the very bottom
You can jump up seven steps
Socrates, Pindaros, Apelles
Freedom of speech, couplet, birch tree
To find where the casque went
While searching
Seek the column
