φημὶ γὰρ οὖν κατανεῦσαι ὑπερμενέα Κρονίωνα ἤματι τῷ ὅτε νηυσὶν ἐν ὠκυπόροισιν ἔβαινον Ἀργεῖοι Τρώεσσι φόνον καὶ κῆρα φέροντες ἀστράπτων ἐπιδέξι' ἐναίσιμα σήματα φαίνων .
φημί γάρ οὖν κατανεύω ὑπερμενής Κρονίων ἦμαρ ὁ ὅτε ναῦς ἐν ὠκύπορος βαίνω Ἀργεῖος Τρώς φόνος καί κήρ φέρω ἀστράπτω ἐπιδέξιος ἐναίσιμος σῆμα φαίνω .
