ἀλλ' ὅτε τέτρατον ἦλθεν ἔτος καὶ ἐπήλυθον ὧραι , μηνῶν φθινόντων , περὶ δ' ἤματα πόλλ' ἐτελέσθη , καὶ τότε δή τις ἔειπε γυναικῶν , ἣ σάφα ᾔδη , καὶ τήν γ' ἀλλύουσαν ἐφεύρομεν ἀγλαὸν ἱστόν .
ἀλλά ὅτε τέτρατος ἔρχομαι ἔτος καί ἐπέρχομαι ὥρα , μείς φθίω , περί δέ ἦμαρ πολύς τελέω , καί τότε δή τις εἶπον γυνή , ὅς σάφα οἶδα , καί ὁ γε ἀναλύω ἐφευρίσκω ἀγλαός ἱστός .
