Before now have you been present at the funeral games of many men that were warriors, when at the death of a king the young men gird themselves and make ready the contests,
ἤδη μὲν πολέων τάφῳ ἀνδρῶν ἀντεβόλησας ἡρώων , ὅτε κέν ποτ' ἀποφθιμένου βασιλῆος ζώννυνταί τε νέοι καὶ ἐπεντύνονται ἄεθλα ·
ἤδη μέν πολύς τάφος ἀνήρ ἀντιβολέω ἥρως , ὅτε ἄν ποτέ ἀποφθίνω βασιλεύς ζώννυμι τε νέος καί ἐπεντύνω ἆθλον ·
