Dear brother, it was for your death, I think, that I swore this oath with sacrifice, setting you forth alone before the face of the Achaeans to do battle with the Trojans, seeing the Trojans have thus struck you, and trodden under foot the oaths of faith.
φίλε κασίγνητε θάνατόν νύ τοι ὅρκι' ἔταμνον οἶον προστήσας πρὸ Ἀχαιῶν Τρωσὶ μάχεσθαι , ὥς σ' ἔβαλον Τρῶες , κατὰ δ' ὅρκια πιστὰ πάτησαν .
φίλος κασίγνητος θάνατος νῦν σύ ὅρκιον τέμνω οἶος προίστημι πρό Ἀχαιός Τρώς μάχομαι , ὡς σύ βάλλω Τρώς , κατά δέ ὅρκιον πιστός πατέω .
