But to himself, as it seems, his portion was to be but woe, and for me there is sorrow never to be forgotten for him, in that he is gone so long, nor do we know anything whether he be alive or dead.
τῷ δ' ἄρ' ἔμελλεν αὐτῷ κήδε' ἔσεσθαι , ἐμοὶ δ' ἄχος αἰὲν ἄλαστον κείνου , ὅπως δὴ δηρὸν ἀποίχεται , οὐ δέ τι ἴδμεν , ζώει ὅ γ' ἦ τέθνηκεν . [0]
ὁ δέ ἄρα μέλλω αὐτός κῆδος εἰμί , ἐγώ δέ ἄχος ἀεί ἄλαστος ἐκεῖνος , ὅπως δή δηρός ἀποίχομαι , οὐ δέ τις οἶδα , ζώω ὁ γε ἤ θνήσκω .
