αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ κατὰ μὲν Τρώων θάνον ὅσσοι ἄριστοι , πολλοὶ δ' Ἀργείων οἳ μὲν δάμεν , οἳ δὲ λίποντο , πέρθετο δὲ Πριάμοιο πόλις δεκάτῳ ἐνιαυτῷ , Ἀργεῖοι δ' ἐν νηυσὶ φίλην ἐς πατρίδ' ἔβησαν , δὴ τότε μητιόωντο Ποσειδάων καὶ Ἀπόλλων τεῖχος ἀμαλδῦναι ποταμῶν μένος εἰσαγαγόντες . [0]
ἀτάρ ἐπεί κατά μέν Τρώς θνήσκω ὅσος ἄριστος , πολύς δέ Ἀργεῖος ὁ μέν δαμάζω , ὅς δέ λείπω , πέρθω δέ Πρίαμος πόλις δέκατος ἐνιαυτός , Ἀργεῖος δέ ἐν ναῦς φίλος εἰς πατρίς βαίνω , δή τότε μητιάω Ποσειδεών καί Ἀπόλλων τεῖχος ἀμαλδύνω ποταμός μένος εἰσάγω .
