πάντας δ' οὐκ ἂν ἐγὼ μυθήσομαι οὐ δ' ὀνομήνω , ὅσσον λαὸν ἔπεφνεν ἀμύνων Ἀργείοισιν , ἀλλ' οἷον τὸν Τηλεφίδην κατενήρατο χαλκῷ , ἥρω' Εὐρύπυλον , πολλοὶ δ' ἀμφ' αὐτὸν ἑταῖροι Κήτειοι κτείνοντο γυναίων εἵνεκα δώρων .
πᾶς δέ οὐ ἄν ἐγώ μυθέομαι οὐδέ δέ ὀνομαίνω , ὅσος λαός θείνω ἀμύνω Ἀργεῖος , ἀλλά οἷος ὁ Τηλεφίδης κατεναίρομαι χαλκός , ἥρως Εὐρύπυλος , πολύς δέ ἀμφί αὐτός ἑταῖρος Κήτειοι κτείνω γύναιος ἕνεκα δῶρον .
