During Lent I'm not posting like I normally do, but since I happen to know Greek and Latin, perhaps I can be of help. What is it you need translated?

Based on what you freepmailed me, Madamoiselle, I figured out what you are looking at is what is described in this Wikipedia entry on "Epigram":
Simonides's epitaph for the Spartan dead after the Battle of Thermopylae,which can be found in Herodotus' work The Histories (7.228), to the Spartans:
O xein', angellein Lakedaimoniois hoti täde keimetha tois keinon rhämasi peithomenoi.
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here obedient to their laws we lie.
O foreigner, tell the Lacedaemonians that here we lie, obeying those words.
