μὴ μὰν ἀσπουδί γε νεῶν ἐπιβαῖεν ἕκηλοι , ἀλλ' ὥς τις τούτων γε βέλος καὶ οἴκοθι πέσσῃ βλήμενος ἢ ἰῷ ἢ ἔγχεϊ ὀξυόεντι νηὸς ἐπιθρῴσκων , ἵνα τις στυγέῃσι καὶ ἄλλος Τρωσὶν ἐφ' ἱπποδάμοισι φέρειν πολύδακρυν Ἄρηα . [0]
μή μήν ἀσπουδί γε ναῦς ἐπιβαίνω ἕκηλος , ἀλλά ὡς τις οὗτος γε βέλος καί οἴκοθι πέσσω βάλλω ἤ ἰός ἤ ἔγχος ὀξυόεις ναῦς ἐπιθρῴσκω , ἵνα τις στυγέω καί ἄλλος Τρώς ἐπί ἱππόδαμος φέρω πολύδακρυς Ἄρης .
