but we on our part, thus visiting you, have come as suppliants to your knees, in the hope that you will give us entertainment, or in other wise make some present, as is the due of strangers.
ἡμεῖς δ' αὖτε κιχανόμενοι τὰ σὰ γοῦνα ἱκόμεθ' , εἴ τι πόροις ξεινήιον ἠὲ καὶ ἄλλως δοίης δωτίνην , ἥ τε ξείνων θέμις ἐστίν .
ἐγώ δέ αὖτε κιχάνω ὁ σός γόνυ ἱκνέομαι , εἰ τις πόρω ξεινήιον ἤ καί ἄλλως δίδωμι δωτίνη , ὅς τε ξένος θέμις εἰμί .
