αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ τό γ' ἄκουσ' ἱερὸν μένος Ἀλκινόοιο , χειρὸς ἑλὼν Ὀδυσῆα δαΐφρονα ποικιλομήτην ὦρσεν ἀπ' ἐσχαρόφιν καὶ ἐπὶ θρόνου εἷσε φαεινοῦ , υἱὸν ἀναστήσας ἀγαπήνορα Λαοδάμαντα , ὅς οἱ πλησίον ἷζε , μάλιστα δέ μιν φιλέεσκεν . [0]
ἀτάρ ἐπεί ὁ γε ἀκούω ἱερός μένος Ἀλκίνοος , χείρ αἱρέω Ὀδυσσεύς δαίφρων ποικιλομήτης ὄρνυμι ἀπό ἐσχάρα καί ἐπί θρόνος ἵζω φαεινός , υἱός ἀνίστημι ἀγαπήνωρ Λαοδάμας , ὅς ἕ πλησίος ἵζω , μάλιστα δέ μιν φιλέω .
