Even thus, I believe, did women mock at him too, in a strange and distant land, when he came to some man's glorious house, as these shameless creatures here all mock at you. It is to shun insult now from them and their many taunts that you do not suffer them to wash your feet,
οὕτω που καὶ κείνῳ ἐφεψιόωντο γυναῖκες ξείνων τηλεδαπῶν , ὅτε τευ κλυτὰ δώμαθ' ἵκοιτο , ὡς σέθεν αἱ κύνες αἵδε καθεψιόωνται ἅπασαι , τάων νῦν λώβην τε καὶ αἴσχεα πόλλ' ἀλεείνων οὐκ ἐάας νίζειν ·
οὕτως πού καί ἐκεῖνος ἐφεψιάομαι γυνή ξένος τηλεδαπός , ὅτε τις κλυτός δῶμα ἱκνέομαι , ὡς σύ ὁ κύων ὅδε καθεψιάομαι ἅπας , ὁ νῦν λώβη τε καί αἶσχος πολύς ἀλεείνω οὐ ἐάω νίζω ·
