but that on a stoutly-bound raft, suffering woes, he may come on the twentieth day to deep-soiled Scheria, the land of the Phaeacians, who are near of kin to the gods. These shall heartily show him all honor, as if he were a god, and shall send him in a ship to his dear native land, after giving him stores of bronze and gold and clothing, more than Odysseus would ever have won for himself from Troy, if he had returned unscathed with his due share of the spoil.
ἀλλ' ὅ γ' ἐπὶ σχεδίης πολυδέσμου πήματα πάσχων ἤματί κ' εἰκοστῷ Σχερίην ἐρίβωλον ἵκοιτο , Φαιήκων ἐς γαῖαν , οἳ ἀγχίθεοι γεγάασιν , οἵ κέν μιν περὶ κῆρι θεὸν ὣς τιμήσουσιν , πέμψουσιν δ' ἐν νηὶ φίλην ἐς πατρίδα γαῖαν , χαλκόν τε χρυσόν τε ἅλις ἐσθῆτά τε δόντες , πόλλ' , ὅσ' ἂν οὐ δέ ποτε Τροίης ἐξήρατ' Ὀδυσσεύς , εἴ περ ἀπήμων ἦλθε , λαχὼν ἀπὸ ληίδος αἶσαν .

ἀλλά ὁ γε ἐπί σχεδία πολύδεσμος πῆμα πάσχω ἦμαρ ἄν εἰκοστός Σχερία ἐριβῶλαξ ἱκνέομαι , Φαίαξ εἰς γαῖα , ὅς ἀγχίθεος γίγνομαι , ὅς ἄν μιν περί κῆρ θεός ὡς τιμάω , πέμπω δέ ἐν ναῦς φίλος εἰς πατρίς γαῖα , χαλκός τε χρυσός τε ἅλις ἐσθής τε δίδωμι , πολύς , ὅσος ἄν οὐ δέ ποτέ Τροία ἐξαίρω Ὀδυσσεύς , εἰ πέρ ἀπήμων ἔρχομαι , λαγχάνω ἀπό ληίς αἶσα .
