αὐτὰρ ἐγὼν Ἰθάκηνδ' ἐσελεύσομαι , ὄφρα οἱ υἱὸν μᾶλλον ἐποτρύνω καί οἱ μένος ἐν φρεσὶ θείω , εἰς ἀγορὴν καλέσαντα κάρη κομόωντας Ἀχαιοὺς πᾶσι μνηστήρεσσιν ἀπειπέμεν , οἵ τέ οἱ αἰεὶ μῆλ' ἁδινὰ σφάζουσι καὶ εἰλίποδας ἕλικας βοῦς .
ἀτάρ ἐγώ Ἰθάκηνδε εἰσέρχομαι , ὄφρα ἕ υἱός μᾶλλον ἐποτρύνω καί ἕ μένος ἐν φρήν θέω , εἰς ἀγορά καλέω κάρα κομάω Ἀχαιός πᾶς μνηστήρ ἀπεῖπον , ὅς τε ἕ ἀεί μῆλον1 ἁδινός σφάζω καί εἰλίπους ἕλιξ βοῦς .
