αὐτὰρ ὁ δέξατο χειρὶ πολύτλας δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς , ῥηϊδίως δ' ἐτάνυσσε βιόν , διὰ δ' ἧκε σιδήρου , στῆ δ' ἄρ' ἐπ' οὐδὸν ἰών , ταχέας δ' ἐκχεύατ' ὀϊστοὺς δεινὸν παπταίνων , βάλε δ' Ἀντίνοον βασιλῆα . [0]
ἀτάρ ὁ δέχομαι χείρ πολύτλας δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς , ῥᾴδιος δέ τανύω βιός , διά δέ ἵημι σίδηρος , ἵστημι δέ ἄρα ἐπί οὐδός εἶμι , ταχύς δέ ἐκχέω ὀιστός δεινός παπταίνω , βάλλω δέ Ἀντίνοος βασιλεύς .
