ἔνθα Διὶ ῥέξαντες ὑπερμενεῖ ἱερὰ καλά , ταῦρον δ' Ἀλφειῷ , ταῦρον δὲ Ποσειδάωνι , αὐτὰρ Ἀθηναίη γλαυκώπιδι βοῦν ἀγελαίην , δόρπον ἔπειθ' ἑλόμεσθα κατὰ στρατὸν ἐν τελέεσσι , καὶ κατεκοιμήθημεν ἐν ἔντεσιν οἷσιν ἕκαστος ἀμφὶ ῥοὰς ποταμοῖο . [0] [1] [2]
ἔνθα Ζεύς ῥέζω ὑπερμενής ἱερόν καλός , ταῦρος δέ Ἀλφειός , ταῦρος δέ Ποσειδεών , ἀτάρ Ἀθήνη γλαυκῶπις βοῦς ἀγελαῖος , δόρπον ἔπειτα αἱρέω κατά στρατός ἐν τέλος , καί κατακοιμάω ἐν ἔντεα ἑός ἕκαστος ἀμφί ῥοή ποταμός .
