Sorry about the capitals and lack of spaces, but this is how it was written in the source.

Thanks for any help in translating.

Σέ, Δήλι', αὐδῶ τὸν κατὰ χθονὸς νέκυν,
νῦν δ' ἐν θεοῖς ναίοντα μετὰ σοφῶν σοφόν.
Delian, I call your name, a corpse beneath the ground
— but dwelling now among the gods, wise among the wise.

this is how it was written in the source.

And what is the source, pray tell?

[Erakis]

Thank you very much, billberg23.

[Erakis]

And what is the source, pray tell?

Otto Kern's Orphicorum fragmenta. He quotes it after his dedication to the late Hermann Diels.

Aha, so the "Delian" (Δήλιε) = Hermann Diels, the great scholar of the presocratic philosophers, etc.!  Many thanks for the download — I'd been looking for Kern for years.  Are you studying Greek religion?

I'm planning to study the PreSocratics, and I thought Kern's collection of all things Orphic would provide an appropriate foundation.
