ἔρειπε δὲ τεῖχος Ἀχαιῶν ῥεῖα μάλ' , ὡς ὅτε τις ψάμαθον πάϊς ἄγχι θαλάσσης , ὅς τ' ἐπεὶ οὖν ποιήσῃ ἀθύρματα νηπιέῃσιν ἂψ αὖτις συνέχευε ποσὶν καὶ χερσὶν ἀθύρων . [0]
ἐρείπω δέ τεῖχος Ἀχαιός ῥεῖα μάλα , ὡς ὅτε τις ψάμαθος παῖς ἄγχι θάλασσα , ὅς τε ἐπεί οὖν ποιέω ἄθυρμα νηπιάα ἄψ αὖθις συγχέω πούς καί χείρ ἀθύρω .
