Iliad 2: 419-420

From the Venetus A MS

ὡς ἔφατ'. οὐδ' ἄρα πώ οἱ, ἐπεκραίαινε Κρονίων:

ἀλλ' ὅ γε δέκτο μὲν ϊρὰ. πόνον δ`' ἀμέγαρτον ὄφελλεν.

So spake he; but not as yet would the son of Cronos grant him fulfillment; nay, he accepted the sacrifice, but toil he made to wax unceasingly.

A. T. Murray (1924)
