Translation: Demeter. For Rharos had a son Keleos, who had a son
Triptolemos. Rharos received
Demeter, as she wandered about looking for Kore, into his house. In gratitude,

Triptolemos went all about the earth, teaching the farming of grain.
Greek Original:Ῥαριάς: ἡ Δημήτηρ: Ῥάρος γὰρ ἔσχεν υἱὸν Κελεόν, Κελεὸς δὲ Τριπτόλεμον. ὁ δὲ Ῥάρος πλανωμένην τὴν Δήμητραν καὶ ζητοῦσαν τὴν Κόρην ὑπεδέξατο εἰς τὸν οἶκον. ὑπὲρ τῆς τοιαύτης οὖν χάριτος ἡ Δημήτηρ τὸν ἀπόγονον Ῥάρου Τριπτόλεμον ἐδίδαξε τὴν τοῦ σίτου γεωργίαν, παρέσχε δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ ἅρμα πτηνῶν δρακόντων, εἰς ὃ ἐποχούμενος ὁ Τριπτόλεμος περιῄει πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, διδάσκων τὴν τοῦ σίτου γεωργίαν.
