αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ Πριάμοιο πόλιν διεπέρσαμεν αἰπήν , βῆμεν δ' ἐν νήεσσι , θεὸς δ' ἐσκέδασσεν Ἀχαιούς , καὶ τότε δὴ Ζεὺς λυγρὸν ἐνὶ φρεσὶ μήδετο νόστον Ἀργείοις , ἐπεὶ οὔ τι νοήμονες οὐ δὲ δίκαιοι πάντες ἔσαν · [0]
ἀτάρ ἐπεί Πρίαμος πόλις διαπέρθω αἰπός , βαίνω δέ ἐν ναῦς , θεός δέ σκεδάννυμι Ἀχαιός , καί τότε δή Ζεύς λυγρός ἐν φρήν μήδομαι νόστος Ἀργεῖος , ἐπεί οὐ τί νοήμων οὐ δέ δίκαιος πᾶς εἰμί ·
