Αὐτὰρ Ὀδυσσεὺς ἦγε Κεφαλλῆνας μεγαθύμους:
οἵ ῥ' Ἰ̈θάκην εἶχον. καὶ Νήριτον εἰνοσίφυλλον:
καὶ Κροκύλει' ἐνέμοντο καὶ Αἰγίλιπα τρηχεῖαν.
οἵ τε Ζάκυνθον ἔχον. ἠδ' οἳ Σάμον ἀμφενέμοντο:
οἵ τ' ἤπειρον ἔχον. ἠδ' ἀντιπέραι' ἐνέμοντο:
τῶν μὲν Ὀδυσσεὺς ἦρχε Διῒ μῆτιν ἀτάλαντος:
τῷ δ' ἅμα νῆες ἕποντο δυώδεκα μιλτοπάρηοι.
And Odysseus led the great-souled Cephallenians that held Ithaca and Neritum, covered with waving forests, and that dwelt in Crocyleia and rugged Aegilips; and them that held Zacynthus, and that dwelt about Samos, and held the mainland and dwelt on the shores over against the isles. Of these was Odysseus captain, the peer of Zeus in counsel. And with him there followed twelve ships with vermilion prows.
