Ἐκ σέο τίκτεται οἶδμα τὸ μύριον, ἄλλυδις ἄλλῃ, ὅππῃ μὲν θεῖον, πῇ δ´ αὖ κρυερόν τε μέσον τε. Τετράδας ἐς πίσυρας κρηνῶν προχέεις σέο κάλλος.

By Eudocia Augusta In my life many and infinite wonders I have seen, But who, however many his mouths, could proclaim, O noble clibanus, Your strength, having been born a worthless mortal? But rather Is it just that you be called a new fiery ocean, Paean and life source, provider of sweet streams. From you is born the infinite swell, here one, there another, On this side boiling, but there in turn cold and tepid. You pour forth your beauty into four tetrads of springs. Indian and Matrona, Repentius, Elijah the Holy , Antoninus the Good , dewy Galatea and Hygeia herself, the large lukewarm pool and the small lukewarm pool, The Pearl, the old clibanus, Indian, and also anotherMatrona, Briara and the Nun, and the (spring) of the Patriarch. For those in pain your mighty strength [is ever constant].

Ὃν χρόνος ἠμάλδθνεν ἑλισσόμενος κατὰ κύκλον στῆσεν Ἀναστάσιος, βασιλεὺς μεγαλώνυμος ἥρως, σπουδῇ Ἀλεξάνδροιο, περίφρονος ἡγεμονῆος, Καισαρίης ναετῆρος, ὃς ἔλλαχεν ἥνια Νύσης.

(This place) which Time crushed, revolving in its cycle, raised Anastasius, king-hero with a great name, under the care of Alexander, the thoughtful governor, dweller of Caesarea, who obtained the reins of Nysa.

Μούκιος Ἀλέξανδρος πανυπείροχος ἡγεμονήων θέσκελον ἤνυσεν ἔργον, ὃν ἔτρεφεν Καίσαρος ἄστυ, δεξάμενος μέγα δῶρον Ἀναστασίου βασιλῆος.

Mucius Alexander, supreme governor, accomplished this wondrous work, (he) whom the city of Caesar nourished, having received a great gift from Emperor Anastasius.

Ὁ Καισαρεὺς τὸν οἶκον Ἀλέξανδρος ποεῖ, ὁ τὴν χλιαρῶν ἐπώνυμον θόλον καμών.

Alexander of Caesarea is the maker of the building, he who built the tholos of the lukewarm pool that is named after him.

Τὴν τῶν χλιαρῶν δεῖ Καισαρέως ἄλλου θόλον καλεῖν Λέοντος, ὡς Ἀλεξάνδρου πάλιν.

The tholos of the lukewarm pool should be named after another Caesarean, Leo, as it once (used to be named) after Alexander.
