But when a year was gone and the seasons turned, as the months waned and the long days were brought in their course, then my trusty comrades called me forth, and said:
ἀλλ' ὅτε δή ῥ' ἐνιαυτὸς ἔην , περὶ δ' ἔτραπον ὧραι μηνῶν φθινόντων , περὶ δ' ἤματα μακρὰ τελέσθη , καὶ τότε μ' ἐκκαλέσαντες ἔφαν ἐρίηρες ἑταῖροι ·
ἀλλά ὅτε δή ἄρα ἐνιαυτός εἰμί , περί δέ τρέπω ὥρα μείς φθίω , περί δέ ἦμαρ μακρός τελέω , καί τότε ἐγώ ἐκκαλέω φημί ἐρίηρος ἑταῖρος ·
