αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ δὴ πάντα λοέσσατο καὶ λίπ' ἄλειψεν , ἀμφὶ δὲ εἵματα ἕσσαθ' ἅ οἱ πόρε παρθένος ἀδμής , τὸν μὲν Ἀθηναίη θῆκεν Διὸς ἐκγεγαυῖα μείζονά τ' εἰσιδέειν καὶ πάσσονα , κὰδ δὲ κάρητος οὔλας ἧκε κόμας , ὑακινθίνῳ ἄνθει ὁμοίας .
ἀτάρ ἐπεί δή πᾶς λούω καί λίπα ἀλείφω , ἀμφί δέ εἷμα ἕννυμι ὅς ἕ πόρω παρθένος ἀδμής , ὁ μέν Ἀθήνη τίθημι Ζεύς ἐκγίγνομαι μέγας τε εἰσοράω καί πάσσων , κατά δέ κάρα οὖλος3 ἵημι κόμη , ὑακίνθινος ἄνθος ὁμοῖος .
