ὃς τὸ καταβρόξειεν , ἐπὴν κρητῆρι μιγείη , οὔ κεν ἐφημέριός γε βάλοι κατὰ δάκρυ παρειῶν , οὐ δ' εἴ οἱ κατατεθναίη μήτηρ τε πατήρ τε , οὐ δ' εἴ οἱ προπάροιθεν ἀδελφεὸν ἢ φίλον υἱὸν χαλκῷ δηιόῳεν , ὁ δ' ὀφθαλμοῖσιν ὁρῷτο . [0]
ὅς ὁ καταβρόχω , ἐπήν κρατήρ μίγνυμι , οὐ ἄν ἐφημέριος γε βάλλω κατά δάκρυον παρειά , οὐ δέ εἰ ἕ καταθνήσκω μήτηρ τε πατήρ τε , οὐ δέ εἰ ἕ προπάροιθε ἀδελφός ἤ φίλος υἱός χαλκός δηιόω , ὁ δέ ὀφθαλμός ὁράω .
