Iliad 2: 207-210

From the Venetus A MS

ὣς ὅ γε κοιρανέων δίεπε στρατόν: οἱ δ' ἀγορὴν δὲ

αὖτις ἐπεσσεύοντο νεῶν ἄπο καὶ κλισιάων

ἠχῇ. ὡς ὅτε κῦμα πολυφλοίσβοιο θαλάσσης

αἰγιαλῷ μεγάλῳ βρέμεται: σμαραγεῖ δέ τε πόντος:

Thus masterfully did he range through the host, and they hasted back to the place of gathering from their ships and huts with noise, as when a wave of the loud-resounding sea thundereth on the long beach, and the deep roareth.

A. T. Murray (1924)
