Nay then, come, sit by your mother and tell her this, namely that she must wed him whoever is the best man, and who offers the most gifts; to the end that you may enjoy in peace all the heritage of your fathers, eating and drinking, and that she may keep the house of another.
ἀλλ' ἄγε , σῇ τάδε μητρὶ παρεζόμενος κατάλεξον , γήμασθ' ὅς τις ἄριστος ἀνὴρ καὶ πλεῖστα πόρῃσιν , ὄφρα σὺ μὲν χαίρων πατρώϊα πάντα νέμηαι , ἔσθων καὶ πίνων , ἡ δ' ἄλλου δῶμα κομίζῃ . &quot; [0]
ἀλλά ἄγε , σός ὅδε μήτηρ παρέζομαι καταλέγω , γαμέω ὅς τις ἄριστος ἀνήρ καί πλεῖστος πόρω , ὄφρα σύ μέν χαίρω πατρώιος πᾶς νέμω , ἔσθω καί πίνω , ὁ δέ ἄλλος δῶμα κομίζω . &quot;
