Description: A bucolic scene with two shepherds, Thyrsis and Aipolos (= Goatherd) illustrating Theocritus Idyll 1 Θύρσις ἢ ᾠδή, lines 12-14. Thyrsis is standing holding a staff and gesticulates to the other sitting shepherd (Aipolos) in sunhat who listens. Goats, sheep, cows, sheepdog. Burning mountain top. Tree. Greek caption in running abbreviated Greek script with the text spoken by Thursis in the dialogue: Λῇς, ποτὶ τᾶν νυμφᾶν, Αιπολε; λῇς, Αιπολε, τᾶδε καθίξας, Ω, ὡς τὸ (?) κάταντες τοῦτο (?) Γεώλοφον, αἵ τε μυρῖκαι, Συρίσδεν; τὰς δ᾽ αἶγας ἐγὼν ἐν τῷδε νομευσῶ. The text differs slightly from Perseus.tufts.edu: Theocritus Theoc. 1, Θύρσις ἢ ᾠδή. Translation from Theoi.com Theocritus Idylls1: 'Fore the Nymphs I pray you, master Goatherd, come now and sit ye down here by this shelving bank and these brush tamarisks and play me a tune. I’ll keep your goats the while. Nederlands: Landelijk tafereel met twee herders, een gravure als illustratie van een tekstuitgave van Theocritus: Idyll 1 Θύρσις ἢ ᾠδή, regel 12-14.

Dan pas ik op je geiten."
