And the robe that seems to you the fairest and amplest in your hall, and that is dearest far to your own self, this lay upon the knees of fair-haired Athene and vow to her that you will sacrifice in her temple twelve sleek heifers that have not felt the goad, if she will take pity on Troy and the Trojans' wives and their little children; in hope she may hold back the son of Tydeus from sacred Ilios, that savage spearman, a mighty deviser of rout.
πέπλον δ' , ὅς τίς τοι χαριέστατος ἠδὲ μέγιστος ἔστιν ἐνὶ μεγάρῳ καί τοι πολὺ φίλτατος αὐτῇ , τὸν θὲς Ἀθηναίης ἐπὶ γούνασιν ἠϋκόμοιο , καί οἱ ὑποσχέσθαι δυοκαίδεκα βοῦς ἐνὶ νηῷ ἤνις ἠκέστας ἱερευσέμεν , αἴ κ' ἐλεήσῃ ἄστύ τε καὶ Τρώων ἀλόχους καὶ νήπια τέκνα , αἴ κεν Τυδέος υἱὸν ἀπόσχῃ Ἰλίου ἱρῆς ἄγριον αἰχμητὴν κρατερὸν μήστωρα φόβοιο .

πέπλος δέ , ὅς τις σύ χαρίεις ἠδέ μέγας εἰμί ἐν μέγαρον καί σύ πολύς φίλτατος αὐτός , ὁ τίθημι Ἀθήνη ἐπί γόνυ εὔκομος , καί ἕ ὑπισχνέομαι δυοκαίδεκα βοῦς ἐν ναός ἦνις ἤκεστος ἱερεύω , εἰ ἄν ἐλεέω ἄστυ τε καί Τρώς ἄλοχος καί νήπιος τέκνον , εἰ ἄν Τυδεύς υἱός ἀπέχω Ἴλιος ἱερός ἄγριος αἰχμητής κρατερός μήστωρ φόβος .
