Up now, dear Phoebus, go cleanse from Sarpedon the dark blood, when you have taken him forth out of the range of darts, and thereafter bear you him far away, and Bathe himselfself in the streams of the river, and anoint him with ambrosia, and clothe him about with immortal clothing,
εἰ δ' ἄγε νῦν φίλε Φοῖβε , κελαινεφὲς αἷμα κάθηρον ἐλθὼν ἐκ βελέων Σαρπηδόνα , καί μιν ἔπειτα πολλὸν ἀπὸ πρὸ φέρων λοῦσον ποταμοῖο ῥοῇσι χρῖσόν τ' ἀμβροσίῃ , περὶ δ' ἄμβροτα εἵματα ἕσσον ·
εἰ δέ ἄγε νῦν φίλος Φοῖβος , κελαινεφής αἷμα καθαίρω ἔρχομαι ἐκ βέλος Σαρπηδών , καί μιν ἔπειτα πολύς ἀπό πρό φέρω λούω ποταμός ῥοή χρίω τε ἀμβροσίη , περί δέ ἄμβροτος εἷμα ἵζω ·
