ωρσεν ἄναξ Διὸς υἱὸς ἀπορνύμενον Λυκίηθεν:
ὡς ἔφατ' εὐχόμενος, τὸν δ' οὐ βέλος ὠκὺ δάμασσεν,
ἀλλ' ἀναχωρήσας πρόσθ' ἵπποιϊν καὶ ὄχεσφιν
ἔστη. καὶ Σθένελον προσέφη Καπανήϊον υἱόν:
ὄρσο πέπον Καπανηϊάδη: καταβήσεο δίφρου:
ὄφρά μοι ἐξ ὤμοιο ἐρύσσῃς πικρὸν ὀϊστόν:
So spake he vauntingly; howbeit that other did the swift arrow not lay low, but he drew back, and took his stand before his horses and chariot, and spake to Sthenelus, son of Capaneus: "Rouse thee, good son of Capaneus; get thee down from the car, that thou mayest draw forth from my shoulder the bitter arrow."
