ἀλλ' εἴ τίς με καὶ ἄλλος ἐνὶ μεγάροισιν ἐνίπτοι δαέρων ἢ γαλόων ἢ εἰνατέρων εὐπέπλων , ἢ ἑκυρή , ἑκυρὸς δὲ πατὴρ ὣς ἤπιος αἰεί , ἀλλὰ σὺ τὸν ἐπέεσσι παραιφάμενος κατέρυκες σῇ τ' ἀγανοφροσύνῃ καὶ σοῖς ἀγανοῖς ἐπέεσσι . [0] [1]
ἀλλά εἰ τις ἐγώ καί ἄλλος ἐν μέγαρον ἐνίπτω δαήρ ἤ γάλοως ἤ εἰνάτερες εὔπεπλος , ἤ ἑκυρά , ἑκυρός δέ πατήρ ὡς ἤπιος ἀεί , ἀλλά σύ ὁ ἔπος παράφημι κατερύκω σός τε ἀγανοφροσύνη καί σός ἀγανός ἔπος .
