οἳ δ' ὅτε δὴ σχεδὸν ἦσαν ἐπ' ἀλλήλοισιν ἰόντες , ἔνθ' ἤτοι Πάτροκλος ἀγακλειτὸν Θρασύμηλον , ὅς ῥ' ἠῢς θεράπων Σαρπηδόνος ἦεν ἄνακτος , τὸν βάλε νείαιραν κατὰ γαστέρα , λῦσε δὲ γυῖα .
ὁ δέ ὅτε δή σχεδόν εἰμί ἐπί ἀλλήλων εἶμι , ἔνθα ἤτοι Πάτροκλος ἀγακλειτός Θρασύμηλος , ὅς ἄρα ἐύς θεράπων Σαρπηδών εἰμί ἄναξ , ὁ βάλλω νείαιρα κατά γαστήρ , λύω δέ γυῖον .
