τοῦ δ' Ὀδυσεὺς μάλα θυμὸν ἀποκταμένοιο χολώθη , βῆ δὲ διὰ προμάχων κεκορυθμένος αἴθοπι χαλκῷ , στῆ δὲ μάλ' ἐγγὺς ἰὼν καὶ ἀκόντισε δουρὶ φαεινῷ ἀμφὶ ἓ παπτήνας ·
ὁ δέ Ὀδυσσεύς μάλα θυμός ἀποκτείνω χολόω , βαίνω δέ διά πρόμαχος κορύσσω αἶθοψ χαλκός , ἵστημι δέ μάλα ἐγγύς εἶμι καί ἀκοντίζω δόρυ φαεινός ἀμφί ἕ παπταίνω ·
