εἰ δ' οὗτος προτὶ ἄστυ μέγα Πριάμοιο ἄνακτος ἔλθοι τεθνηὼς καί μιν ἐρυσαίμεθα χάρμης , αἶψά κεν Ἀργεῖοι Σαρπηδόνος ἔντεα καλὰ λύσειαν , καί κ' αὐτὸν ἀγοίμεθα Ἴλιον εἴσω ·
εἰ δέ οὗτος πρός ἄστυ μέγας Πρίαμος ἄναξ ἔρχομαι θνήσκω καί μιν ἐρύω1 χάρμη , αἶψα ἄν Ἀργεῖος Σαρπηδών ἔντεα καλός λύω , καί ἄν αὐτός ἄγω Ἴλιος εἴσω ·
