She then bathed, and took clean clothing for her body, and went up to her upper chamber with her handmaids, and placing barley grains in a basket prayed to Athena:
ἡ δ' ὑδρηναμένη , καθαρὰ χροῒ εἵμαθ' ἑλοῦσα εἰς ὑπερῷ' ἀνέβαινε σὺν ἀμφιπόλοισι γυναιξίν , ἐν δ' ἔθετ' οὐλοχύτας κανέῳ , ἠρᾶτο δ' Ἀθήνῃ ·
ὁ δέ ὑδραίνω , καθαρός χρώς εἷμα αἱρέω εἰς ὑπερῷον ἀναβαίνω σύν ἀμφίπολος γυνή , ἐν δέ τίθημι οὐλοχύται κάνεον , ἀράομαι δέ Ἀθήνη ·
