ἀλλ' ὅτε δὴ τὸν ἵκανε φέρων ἀν' ὅμιλον ἁπάντῃ ὅς μιν ἐπιγράψας κυνέῃ βάλε φαίδιμος Αἴας , ἤτοι ὑπέσχεθε χεῖρ' , ὃ δ' ἄρ' ἔμβαλεν ἄγχι παραστάς , γνῶ δὲ κλήρου σῆμα ἰδών , γήθησε δὲ θυμῷ . [0]
ἀλλά ὅτε δή ὁ ἱκάνω φέρω ἀνά ὅμιλος ἁπάντῃ ὅς μιν ἐπιγράφω κυνέη βάλλω φαίδιμος Αἴας , ἤτοι ὑποσχέθω χείρ , ὁ δέ ἄρα ἐμβάλλω ἄγχι παρίστημι , γιγνώσκω δέ κλῆρος σῆμα εἶδον , γηθέω δέ θυμός .
