Tell me, are you willingly thus oppressed? Or do the people throughout the land hate you, following the voice of a god? Or have you cause to blame your brothers, in whose fighting a man trusts even if a great strife arise.
εἰπέ μοι ἠὲ ἑκὼν ὑποδάμνασαι , ἦ σέ γε λαοὶ ἐχθαίρουσ' ἀνὰ δῆμον , ἐπισπόμενοι θεοῦ ὀμφῇ , ἦ τι κασιγνήτοις ἐπιμέμφεαι , οἷσί περ ἀνὴρ μαρναμένοισι πέποιθε , καὶ εἰ μέγα νεῖκος ὄρηται .
εἶπον ἐγώ ἠέ ἑκών ὑποδάμναμαι , ἤ σύ γε λαός ἐχθαίρω ἀνά δῆμος , ἐφέπω θεός ὀμφή , ἤ τις κασίγνητος ἐπιμέμφομαι , ὅς πέρ ἀνήρ μάρναμαι πείθω , καί εἰ μέγας νεῖκος ὄρνυμι .
