σὺ δὲ θᾶσσον Ἀθηναίῃ ἐπιτεῖλαι ἐλθεῖν ἐς Τρώων καὶ Ἀχαιῶν φύλοπιν αἰνήν , πειρᾶν δ' ὥς κε Τρῶες ὑπερκύδαντας Ἀχαιοὺς ἄρξωσι πρότεροι ὑπὲρ ὅρκια δηλήσασθαι .
σύ δέ ταχύς Ἀθήνη ἐπιτέλλω ἔρχομαι εἰς Τρώς καί Ἀχαιός φύλοπις αἰνός , πειράω δέ ὡς ἄν Τρώς ὑπερκύδας Ἀχαιός ἄρχω πρότερος ὑπέρ ὅρκιον δηλέομαι .
