I know not whether Odysseus was thus clothed at home, or whether one of his comrades gave him the clothing when he went on board the swift ship, or by chance even some stranger, since to many men was Odysseus dear,
οὐκ οἶδ' ἢ τάδε ἕστο περὶ χροῒ οἴκοθ' Ὀδυσσεύς , ἦ τις ἑταίρων δῶκε θοῆς ἐπὶ νηὸς ἰόντι , ἤ τίς που καὶ ξεῖνος , ἐπεὶ πολλοῖσιν Ὀδυσσεὺς ἔσκε φίλος · [0]
οὐ οἶδα ἤ ὅδε ἕννυμι περί χρώς οἴκοθι Ὀδυσσεύς , ἦ τις ἑταῖρος δίδωμι θοός ἐπί ναῦς εἶμι , ἤ τις πού καί ξένος , ἐπεί πολύς Ὀδυσσεύς εἰμί φίλος ·
