Then Achilles called forth the hand-maids and commanded them wash and anoint him, bearing him to a place apart that Priam might not have sight of his son, lest in grief of heart he should not restrain his wrath, whenever he had sight of his son, and Achilles' own spirit be stirred to anger, and he kill him, and so sin against the behest of Zeus.
δμῳὰς δ' ἐκκαλέσας λοῦσαι κέλετ' ἀμφί τ' ἀλεῖψαι νόσφιν ἀειράσας , ὡς μὴ Πρίαμος ἴδοι υἱόν , μὴ ὃ μὲν ἀχνυμένῃ κραδίῃ χόλον οὐκ ἐρύσαιτο παῖδα ἰδών , Ἀχιλῆϊ δ' ὀρινθείη φίλον ἦτορ , καί ἑ κατακτείνειε , Διὸς δ' ἀλίτηται ἐφετμάς .
δμωή δέ ἐκκαλέω λούω κέλομαι ἀμφί τε ἀλείφω νόσφι ἀείρω , ὡς μή Πρίαμος εἶδον υἱός , μή ὁ μέν ἀχεύω καρδία χόλος οὐ ἐρύω2 παῖς εἶδον , Ἀχιλλεύς δέ ὀρίνω φίλος ἦτορ , καί ἕ κατακτείνω , Ζεύς δέ ἀλιταίνω ἐφετμή .
