κοιμήσας δ' ἀνέμους χέει ἔμπεδον , ὄφρα καλύψῃ ὑψηλῶν ὀρέων κορυφὰς καὶ πρώονας ἄκρους καὶ πεδία λωτοῦντα καὶ ἀνδρῶν πίονα ἔργα , καί τ' ἐφ' ἁλὸς πολιῆς κέχυται λιμέσιν τε καὶ ἀκταῖς , κῦμα δέ μιν προσπλάζον ἐρύκεται · [2] [1]
κοιμάω δέ ἄνεμος χέω ἔμπεδος , ὄφρα καλύπτω ὑψηλός ὄρος κορυφή καί πρών ἄκρος καί πεδίον λωτόεις καί ἀνήρ πίων ἔργον , καί τε ἐπί ἅλς1 πολιός χέω λιμήν τε καί ἀκτή , κῦμα δέ μιν προσπλάζω ἐρύκω ·
