Be silent! Silent! Let the sandal’s tread // Be light, no jarring sound. // Depart ye hence afar, and from his bed withdraw. // In these lines the words σῖγα σῖγα λευκόν are sung on one note; and yet each of the three words has both low and high pitch. ― translation from: Stephen Usher, opere citatoLCL 466 (1985), chapter xi, paragraph 4, page 81, lines 5–10
