ἀλλ' ὅτε δὴ πύργους τε νεῶν καὶ τάφρον ἵκοντο , οἳ δὲ νέον περὶ δόρπα φυλακτῆρες πονέοντο , τοῖσι δ' ἐφ' ὕπνον ἔχευε διάκτορος ἀργεϊφόντης πᾶσιν , ἄφαρ δ' ὤϊξε πύλας καὶ ἀπῶσεν ὀχῆας , ἐς δ' ἄγαγε Πρίαμόν τε καὶ ἀγλαὰ δῶρ' ἐπ' ἀπήνης . [0]
ἀλλά ὅτε δή πύργος τε ναῦς καί τάφρος ἱκνέομαι , ὁ δέ νέος περί δόρπον φυλακτήρ πονέω , ὁ δέ ἐπί ὕπνος χέω διάκτορος Ἀργειφόντης πᾶς , ἄφαρ δέ οἴγω πύλη καί ἀπωθέω ὀχεύς , εἰς δέ ἄγω Πρίαμος τε καί ἀγλαός δῶρον ἐπί ἀπήνη .
