περὶ γὰρ θεὸς ἠέρα χεῦε Παλλὰς Ἀθηναίη , κούρη Διός , ὄφρα μιν αὐτὸν ἄγνωστον τεύξειεν ἕκαστά τε μυθήσαιτο , μή μιν πρὶν ἄλοχος γνοίη ἀστοί τε φίλοι τε , πρὶν πᾶσαν μνηστῆρας ὑπερβασίην ἀποτῖσαι . [0]
περί γάρ θεός ἀήρ χέω Παλλάς Ἀθήνη , κόρη Ζεύς , ὄφρα μιν αὐτός ἄγνωστος τεύχω ἕκαστος τε μυθέομαι , μή μιν πρίν ἄλοχος γιγνώσκω ἀστός τε φίλος τε , πρίν πᾶς μνηστήρ ὑπερβασία ἀποτίνω .
