ἀλλ' ὅτε δή μιν ἐγὼ λόεον καὶ χρῖον ἐλαίῳ , ἀμφὶ δὲ εἵματα ἕσσα καὶ ὤμοσα καρτερὸν ὅρκον μὴ μὲν πρὶν Ὀδυσῆα μετὰ Τρώεσσ' ἀναφῆναι , πρίν γε τὸν ἐς νῆάς τε θοὰς κλισίας τ' ἀφικέσθαι , καὶ τότε δή μοι πάντα νόον κατέλεξεν Ἀχαιῶν .
ἀλλά ὅτε δή μιν ἐγώ λούω καί χρίω ἔλαιον , ἀμφί δέ εἷμα ἵζω καί ὄμνυμι καρτερός ὅρκος μή μέν πρίν Ὀδυσσεύς μετά Τρώς ἀναφαίνω , πρίν γε ὁ εἰς ναῦς τε θοός κλισία τε ἀφικνέομαι , καί τότε δή ἐγώ πᾶς νόος καταλέγω Ἀχαιός .
