But I would there were some comrade to bear word with all speed to the son of Peleus, for I think he has not even heard the woeful tale, that his dear comrade is slain.
εἴη δ' ὅς τις ἑταῖρος ἀπαγγείλειε τάχιστα Πηλεΐδῃ , ἐπεὶ οὔ μιν ὀΐομαι οὐ δὲ πεπύσθαι λυγρῆς ἀγγελίης , ὅτι οἱ φίλος ὤλεθ' ἑταῖρος .
εἰμί δέ ὅς τις ἑταῖρος ἀπαγγέλλω ταχύς Πηλείδης , ἐπεί οὐ μιν οἴομαι οὐδέ οὐδέ πυνθάνομαι λυγρός ἀγγελία , ὅτι ἕ φίλος ὄλλυμι ἑταῖρος .
