I fear lest in truth mighty Hector make good his word and the threats wherewith once he threatened us, as he spoke among the Trojans, even that he would not return to Ilios from the ships till he had burned the ships with fire and furthermore slain the men.
δείδω μὴ δή μοι τελέσῃ ἔπος ὄβριμος Ἕκτωρ , ὥς ποτ' ἐπηπείλησεν ἐνὶ Τρώεσσ' ἀγορεύων μὴ πρὶν πὰρ νηῶν προτὶ Ἴλιον ἀπονέεσθαι πρὶν πυρὶ νῆας ἐνιπρῆσαι , κτεῖναι δὲ καὶ αὐτούς .
δείδω μή δή ἐγώ τελέω ἔπος ὄβριμος Ἕκτωρ , ὡς ποτέ ἐπαπειλέω ἐν Τρώς ἀγορεύω μή πρίν παρά ναῦς πρός Ἴλιος ἀπονέομαι πρίν πῦρ ναῦς ἐμπρήθω , κτείνω δέ καί αὐτός .
