And the handmaidens, that Achilles and Patroclus had gotten for themselves as booty, shrieked aloud in anguish of heart, and ran forth around wise-hearted Achilles, and all beat their breasts with their hands, and the knees of each one were loosed beneath her.
δμῳαὶ δ' ἃς Ἀχιλεὺς ληΐσσατο Πάτροκλός τε θυμὸν ἀκηχέμεναι μεγάλ' ἴαχον , ἐκ δὲ θύραζε ἔδραμον ἀμφ' Ἀχιλῆα δαΐφρονα , χερσὶ δὲ πᾶσαι στήθεα πεπλήγοντο , λύθεν δ' ὑπὸ γυῖα ἑκάστης .
δμωή δέ ὅς Ἀχιλλεύς ληίζομαι Πάτροκλος τε θυμός ἀχεύω μέγας ἰάχω , ἐκ δέ θύραζε τρέχω ἀμφί Ἀχιλλεύς δαίφρων , χείρ δέ πᾶς στῆθος πλήσσω , λύω δέ ὑπό γυῖον ἕκαστος .
