τὰ δὲ δοῦρα θρασειάων ἀπὸ χειρῶν ἄλλα μὲν ἐν σάκεϊ μεγάλῳ πάγεν ὄρμενα πρόσσω , πολλὰ δὲ καὶ μεσσηγύ , πάρος χρόα λευκὸν ἐπαυρεῖν , ἐν γαίῃ ἵσταντο λιλαιόμενα χροὸς ἆσαι .
ὁ δέ δόρυ θρασύς ἀπό χείρ ἄλλος μέν ἐν σάκος μέγας πήγνυμι ὄρνυμι πρόσω , πολύς δέ καί μεσηγύ , πάρος χρώς λευκός ἐπαυρέω , ἐν γαῖα ἵστημι λιλαίομαι χρώς ἄω .
