ἂν δ' ἕλετ' ἀμφιβρότην πολυδαίδαλον ἀσπίδα θοῦριν καλήν , ἣν πέρι μὲν κύκλοι δέκα χάλκεοι ἦσαν , ἐν δέ οἱ ὀμφαλοὶ ἦσαν ἐείκοσι κασσιτέροιο λευκοί , ἐν δὲ μέσοισιν ἔην μέλανος κυάνοιο . [0]
ἀνά δέ αἱρέω ἀμφίβροτος πολυδαίδαλος ἀσπίς θοῦρις καλός , ὅς περί μέν κύκλος δέκα χάλκεος εἰμί , ἐν δέ ἕ ὀμφαλός εἰμί εἴκοσι κασσίτερος λευκός , ἐν δέ μέσος εἰμί μέλας κύανος .
