ἀλλὰ δύω μὲν ἔλασσε διὰ πτύχας , αἳ δ' ἄρ' ἔτι τρεῖς ἦσαν , ἐπεὶ πέντε πτύχας ἤλασε κυλλοποδίων , τὰς δύο χαλκείας , δύο δ' ἔνδοθι κασσιτέροιο , τὴν δὲ μίαν χρυσῆν , τῇ ῥ' ἔσχετο μείλινον ἔγχος .
ἀλλά δύο μέν ἐλαύνω διά πτύξ , ὁ δέ ἄρα ἔτι τρεῖς εἰμί , ἐπεί πέντε πτύξ ἐλαύνω Κυλλοποδίων , ὁ δύο χάλκειος , δύο δέ ἔνδοθι κασσίτερος , ὁ δέ εἷς χρύσεος , ὁ ἄρα ἔχω μέλινος ἔγχος .
