His epitaph, writen by Aeschylus himself

Aeschylus son of Euphorion the Athenian this monument hides, who died in wheat-bearing Gela; but of his approved valour the Marathonian grove may tell, and the deep-haired Mede who knew.

Αἰσχύλου ἐπιτάφιον ἐπίγραμμα

Αἰσχύλον Εὐφορίωνος Ἀθηναῖον τόδε κεύθει / μνῆμα καταφθίμενον πυροφόροιο Γέλας· / ἀλκὴν δ' εὐδόκιμον Μαραθώνιον ἄλσος ἂν εἴποι / καὶ βαθυχαιτήεις Μῆδος ἐπιστάμενος.
