αἲ γὰρ ἐγὼν ὣς νοστήσας Ἰθάκηνδε , κιχὼν Ὀδυσῆ' ἐνὶ οἴκῳ , εἴποιμ' ὡς παρὰ σεῖο τυχὼν φιλότητος ἁπάσης ἔρχομαι , αὐτὰρ ἄγω κειμήλια πολλὰ καὶ ἐσθλά . &quot;
εἰ γάρ ἐγώ ὡς νοστέω Ἰθάκηνδε , κιχάνω Ὀδυσσεύς ἐν οἶκος , εἶπον ὡς παρά σύ τυγχάνω φιλότης ἅπας ἔρχομαι , ἀτάρ ἄγω κειμήλιον πολύς καί ἐσθλός . &quot;
