Him the old man Priam was first to behold with his eyes, as he sped all-gleaming over the plain, like the star that comes forth at harvest-time, and brightly do his rays shine among the host of stars in the darkness of night, the star that men call by name the Dog of Orion.
τὸν δ' ὃ γέρων Πρίαμος πρῶτος ἴδεν ὀφθαλμοῖσι παμφαίνονθ' ὥς τ' ἀστέρ' ἐπεσσύμενον πεδίοιο , ὅς ῥά τ' ὀπώρης εἶσιν , ἀρίζηλοι δέ οἱ αὐγαὶ φαίνονται πολλοῖσι μετ' ἀστράσι νυκτὸς ἀμολγῷ , ὅν τε κύν' Ὠρίωνος ἐπίκλησιν καλέουσι . [0]
ὁ δέ ὁ γέρων Πρίαμος πρῶτος εἶδον ὀφθαλμός παμφαίνω ὡς τε ἀστήρ ἐπισεύω πεδίον , ὅς ἄρα τε ὀπώρα εἶμι , ἀρίζηλος δέ ἕ αὐγή φαίνω πολύς μετά ἀστήρ νύξ ἀμολγός , ὅς τε κύων Ὠρίων ἐπίκλησις καλέω .
