Iliad 3: 199-202

From the Venetus A MS

τονδ`' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειθ' Ἑλένη Διὸς ἐκγεγαυῖα:

οὗτος δ' αῦ Λαερτιάδης πολύμητις Ὀδυσσεὺς.

ὃς τράφη ἐν δήμῳ Ἰ̈θάκης κραναῆς περ ἐούσης:

εἰδὼς παντοίους τὲ δόλους καὶ μήδεα πυκνά:

To him made answer Helen, sprung from Zeus: "This again is Laertes' son, Odysseus of many wiles, that was reared in the land of Ithaca, rugged though it be, and he knoweth all manner of craft and cunning devices."

A. T. Murray (1924)
