εἴ κέ μιν ἐντανύσῃ , δώῃ δέ οἱ εὖχος Ἀπόλλων , ἕσσω μιν χλαῖνάν τε χιτῶνά τε , εἵματα καλά , δώσω δ' ὀξὺν ἄκοντα , κυνῶν ἀλκτῆρα καὶ ἀνδρῶν , καὶ ξίφος ἄμφηκες ·
εἰ ἄν μιν ἐντανύω , δίδωμι δέ ἕ εὖχος Ἀπόλλων , ἕννυμι μιν χλαῖνα τε χιτών τε , εἷμα καλός , δίδωμι δέ ὀξύς ἄκων , κύων ἀλκτήρ καί ἀνήρ , καί ξίφος ἀμφήκης ·
