αὐτὰρ ἐπεί ῥ' εὔξαντο καὶ οὐλοχύτας προβάλοντο , αὐέρυσαν μὲν πρῶτα καὶ ἔσφαξαν καὶ ἔδειραν , μηρούς τ' ἐξέταμον κατά τε κνίσῃ ἐκάλυψαν δίπτυχα ποιήσαντες , ἐπ' αὐτῶν δ' ὠμοθέτησαν .
ἀτάρ ἐπεί ἄρα εὔχομαι καί οὐλοχύται προβάλλω , αὐερύω μέν πρότερος καί σφάζω καί δέρω , μηρός τε ἐκτέμνω κατά τε κνῖσα καλύπτω δίπτυχος ποιέω , ἐπί αὐτός δέ ὠμοθετέω .
