οἱ δ' εὕδοντ' ἐν νηῒ θοῇ ἐπὶ πόντον ἄγοντες κάτθεσαν εἰν Ἰθάκῃ , ἔδοσαν δέ οἱ ἄσπετα δῶρα , χαλκόν τε χρυσόν τε ἅλις ἐσθῆτά θ' ὑφαντήν , πόλλ' , ὅσ' ἂν οὐ δέ ποτε Τροίης ἐξήρατ' Ὀδυσσεύς , εἴ περ ἀπήμων ἦλθε , λαχὼν ἀπὸ ληΐδος αἶσαν . &quot;
ὁ δέ εὕδω ἐν ναῦς θοός ἐπί πόντος ἄγω κατατίθημι ἐν Ἰθάκη , δίδωμι δέ ἕ ἄσπετος δῶρον , χαλκός τε χρυσός τε ἅλις ἐσθής τε ὑφαντός , πολύς , ὅσος ἄν οὐδέ δέ ποτέ Τροία ἐξαίρω Ὀδυσσεύς , εἰ πέρ ἀπήμων ἔρχομαι , λαγχάνω ἀπό ληίς αἶσα . &quot;
