Whoever I shall mark holding aloof from the ships on the further side, on the very spot shall I devise his death, nor shall his kinsmen and kinswomen give him his due meed of fire in death, but the dogs shall rend him in front of our city.
ὃν δ' ἂν ἐγὼν ἀπάνευθε νεῶν ἑτέρωθι νοήσω , αὐτοῦ οἱ θάνατον μητίσομαι , οὐ δέ νυ τόν γε γνωτοί τε γνωταί τε πυρὸς λελάχωσι θανόντα , ἀλλὰ κύνες ἐρύουσι πρὸ ἄστεος ἡμετέροιο .
ὅς δέ ἄν ἐγώ ἀπάνευθε ναῦς ἑτέρωθι νοέω , αὐτοῦ ἕ θάνατος μητίομαι , οὐ δέ νῦν ὁ γε γνωτός τε γνωτός τε πυρός λαγχάνω θνήσκω , ἀλλά κύων ἐρύω1 πρό ἄστυ ἡμέτερος .
