However let Phoenix remain here with us, and lay him down to sleep, that he may follow with me on my ships to my dear native land tomorrow, if so he will;
Φοῖνιξ δ' αὖθι παρ' ἄμμι μένων κατακοιμηθήτω , ὄφρά μοι ἐν νήεσσι φίλην ἐς πατρίδ' ἕπηται αὔριον ἢν ἐθέλῃσιν ·
Φοῖνιξ δέ αὖθι παρά ἐγώ μένω κατακοιμάω , ὄφρα ἐγώ ἐν ναῦς φίλος εἰς πατρίς ἕπομαι αὔριον ἐάν ἐθέλω ·
