• Parallel text and translation: poetic texts; e.g. Callimachus, Iambus 1.1–4 Pf.:

Ἀκούσαθ' Ἱππώνακτος· ⌊ο⌋ὐ γὰρ ἀλλ' ἥκω ἐκ τῶν ὅκου βοῦν κολλύ⌊βου π⌋ιπρήσκουσιν, φέρων ἴαμβον οὐ μάχην ⌊ἀείδ⌋οντα τὴν Βο⌋υπ⌊άλ⌋ειον [.].νά[... ἄ]νθρωπος	Listen to Hipponax! That's right: I'm back from where they sell an ox for a penny, bearing iambus that sings not of the battle with Bupalus [lacuna] man

• Parallel text and translation: stychomythia; e.g. Sophocles, Ichneutae fr. 314.298–304 Radt:

Κυ. Χο. Κυ. Χο. Κυ. Χο. Κυ.	μὴ νῦν ἀπίστει· πιστὰ γάρ σε προσγελᾷ θεᾶς ἔπη. καὶ πῶς πίθωμαι τοῦ θανόντος φθέγμα τοιοῦτον βρέμειν; πιθοῦ· θανὼν γὰρ ἔσχε φωνήν, ζῶν δ' ἄναυδος ἦν ὁ θήρ. ποῖός τις ἦν εἶδος; πρ[ο]μήκης, ἢ 'πίκυρτος, ἢ βραχύς; βραχύς, χυτροίδης, πο[ι]κίλῃ δορᾷ κατερρικνωμένος. ὡς αἰέλουρος εἰκάσαι πέφυκεν ἢ τὼς πόρδαλις; πλεῖστον με[τ]αξύ· γογγύλον γάρ ἐστι καὶ βραχυσκελές.	Cy. Cho. Cy. Cho. Cy. Cho. Cy.	Don't be so skeptical: for a goddess is speaking trusty words to you. How should I believe that a dead animal's voice can roar like that? Believe it: it speaks now it's dead, though it had no voice when it was alive. What did it look like? Long, curved, short? Short, like a pitcher, and covered with a colorful hide. Was it like a cat, or rather a leopard? In between, really: it's round with short legs.

• Parallel text and translation: prose texts; e.g. Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 2.68 (65a–b):

	ὅτι τὸ εἰς Ὅμηρον ἀναφερόμενον ἐπύλλιον, ἐπιγραφόμενον δὲ Ἐπικιχλίδες, ἔτυχε ταύτης τῆς προσηγορίας διὰ τὸ τὸν Ὅμηρον ᾄδοντα αὐτὸ τοῖς παισὶ κίχλας δῶρον λαμβάνειν, ἱστορεῖ Μέναιχμος ἐν τῷ περὶ τεχνιτῶν.	A short epic (epyllion) attributed to Homer, entitled The One for the Thrushes, acquired this name because Homer was rewarded with thrushes when he sang it to his children—Menaechmus tells the story in his On Artisans.
