αὐτὰρ Ἀθήνη , ἄγχι παρισταμένη , Λαερτιάδην Ὀδυσῆα ῥάβδῳ πεπληγυῖα πάλιν ποίησε γέροντα , λυγρὰ δὲ εἵματα ἕσσε περὶ χροΐ , μή ἑ συβώτης γνοίη ἐσάντα ἰδὼν καὶ ἐχέφρονι Πηνελοπείῃ ἔλθοι ἀπαγγέλλων μη δὲ φρεσὶν εἰρύσσαιτο .
ἀτάρ Ἀθήνη , ἄγχι παρίστημι , Λαερτιάδης Ὀδυσσεύς ῥάβδος πλήσσω πάλιν ποιέω γέρων , λυγρός δέ εἷμα ἵζω περί χρώς , μή ἕ συβώτης γιγνώσκω εἴσαντα εἶδον καί ἐχέφρων Πηνελόπεια ἔρχομαι ἀπαγγέλλω μηδέ δέ φρήν ἐρύω2 .
