But I care not to ask or enquire, since the time when an Aetolian beguiled me with his story, one that had killed a man, and after wandering over the wide earth came to my house,
ἀλλ' ἐμοὶ οὐ φίλον ἐστὶ μεταλλῆσαι καὶ ἐρέσθαι , ἐξ οὗ δή μ' Αἰτωλὸς ἀνὴρ ἐξήπαφε μύθῳ , ὅς ῥ' ἄνδρα κτείνας , πολλὴν ἐπὶ γαῖαν ἀληθείς , ἦλθεν ἐμὰ πρὸς δώματ' ·
ἀλλά ἐγώ οὐ φίλος εἰμί μεταλλάω καί ἔρομαι , ἐκ ὅς δή ἐγώ Αἰτωλός ἀνήρ ἐξαπαφίσκω μῦθος , ὅς ἄρα ἀνήρ κτείνω , πολύς ἐπί γαῖα ἀλάομαι , ἔρχομαι ἐμός πρός δῶμα ·
