So Aias drew near, bearing his shield that was like a city wall, a shield of bronze with sevenfold bull's-hide, the which Tychius had wrought with toil, he that was far best of workers in hide, having his home in Hyle, who had made him his flashing shield of seven hides of sturdy bulls, and thereover had wrought an eighth layer of bronze.
Αἴας δ' ἐγγύθεν ἦλθε φέρων σάκος ἠΰτε πύργον χάλκεον ἑπταβόειον , ὅ οἱ Τυχίος κάμε τεύχων σκυτοτόμων ὄχ' ἄριστος Ὕλῃ ἔνι οἰκία ναίων , ὅς οἱ ἐποίησεν σάκος αἰόλον ἑπταβόειον ταύρων ζατρεφέων , ἐπὶ δ' ὄγδοον ἤλασε χαλκόν . [0] [1] [2] [3]
Αἴας δέ ἐγγύθεν ἔρχομαι φέρω σάκος ἠύτε πύργος χάλκεος ἑπταβόειος , ὁ ἕ Τυχίος κάμνω τεύχω σκυτότομος ὄχα ἄριστος Ὕλη ἐν οἰκίον ναίω , ὅς ἕ ποιέω σάκος αἰόλος ἑπταβόειος ταῦρος ζατρεφής , ἐπί δέ ὄγδοος ἐλαύνω χαλκός .
