ὄφρ' οἳ τοὺς ἐνάριζον ἀπ' ἔντεα μαρμαίροντα , τόφρ' οἳ Πουλυδάμαντι καὶ Ἕκτορι κοῦροι ἕποντο , οἳ πλεῖστοι καὶ ἄριστοι ἔσαν , μέμασαν δὲ μάλιστα τεῖχός τε ῥήξειν καὶ ἐνιπρήσειν πυρὶ νῆας , οἵ ῥ' ἔτι μερμήριζον ἐφεσταότες παρὰ τάφρῳ .
ὄφρα ὁ ὁ ἐναρίζω ἀπό ἔντεα μαρμαίρω , τόφρα ὁ Πουλυδάμας καί Ἕκτωρ κοῦρος ἕπομαι , ὅς πλεῖστος καί ἄριστος εἰμί , μέμαα δέ μάλιστα τεῖχος τε ῥήγνυμι καί ἐμπρήθω πῦρ ναῦς , ὁ ἆρα ἔτι μερμηρίζω ἐφίστημι παρά τάφρος .
