τὸν δ' οὐ κύνες ἀμφεπένοντο , ἀλλὰ κύνας μὲν ἄλαλκε Διὸς θυγάτηρ Ἀφροδίτη ἤματα καὶ νύκτας , ῥοδόεντι δὲ χρῖεν ἐλαίῳ ἀμβροσίῳ , ἵνα μή μιν ἀποδρύφοι ἑλκυστάζων .
ὁ δέ οὐ κύων ἀμφιπένομαι , ἀλλά κύων μέν ἄλαλκε Ζεύς θυγάτηρ Ἀφροδίτη ἦμαρ καί νύξ , ῥοδόεις δέ χρίω ἔλαιον ἀμβρόσιος , ἵνα μή μιν ἀποδρύπτω ἑλκυστάζω .
