τὸν δ' ἐπεὶ οὖν δμῳαὶ λοῦσαν καὶ χρῖσαν ἐλαίῳ , ἀμφὶ δέ μιν φᾶρος καλὸν βάλον ἠδὲ χιτῶνα , αὐτὸς τόν γ' Ἀχιλεὺς λεχέων ἐπέθηκεν ἀείρας , σὺν δ' ἕταροι ἤειραν ἐϋξέστην ἐπ' ἀπήνην .
ὁ δέ ἐπεί οὖν δμωή λούω καί χρίω ἔλαιον , ἀμφί δέ μιν φᾶρος καλός βάλλω ἠδέ χιτών , αὐτός ὁ γε Ἀχιλλεύς λέχος ἐπιτίθημι ἀείρω , σύν δέ ἑταῖρος ἀείρω εὔξεστος ἐπί ἀπήνη .
