αὐτὸς δ' ἐννοσίγαιος ἔχων χείρεσσι τρίαιναν ἡγεῖτ' , ἐκ δ' ἄρα πάντα θεμείλια κύμασι πέμπε φιτρῶν καὶ λάων , τὰ θέσαν μογέοντες Ἀχαιοί , λεῖα δ' ἐποίησεν παρ' ἀγάρροον Ἑλλήσποντον , αὖτις δ' ἠϊόνα μεγάλην ψαμάθοισι κάλυψε τεῖχος ἀμαλδύνας ·
αὐτός δέ Ἐννοσίγαιος ἔχω χείρ τρίαινα ἡγέομαι , ἐκ δέ ἄρα πᾶς θέμεθλα κῦμα πέμπω φιτρός καί λᾶας , ὁ τίθημι μογέω Ἀχαιός , λεῖος δέ ποιέω παρά ἀγάρροος Ἑλλήσποντος , αὖθις δέ ἠιών μέγας ψάμαθος καλύπτω τεῖχος ἀμαλδύνω ·
