ῆ ῥα: καὶ ἀμπεπαλὼν προΐει δολιχόσκιον ἔγχος:
καὶ βάλε Τυδείδαο κατ' ἀσπίδα: τῆς δὲ διαπρὸ
αἰχμὴ χαλκείη πταμένη: θώρηκι πελάσθη:
τῷ δ' ἐπὶ μακρὸν ἄϋσε Λυκάονος ἀγλαὸς υἱός:
βέβληαι κενεῶνα διαμπερές: οὐδέ ς' ὀΐω
δηρὸν ἔτ' ἀνσχήσεσθαι. ἐμοὶ δὲ μέγ' εὖχος ἔδωκας:
So saying, he poised and hurled his far-shadowing spear, and smote upon the shield of Tydeus' son; and straight therethrough sped the point of bronze and reached the corselet. Then over him shouted aloud the glorious son of Lycaon: "Thou art smitten clean through the belly, and not for long, methinks, shalt thou endure; but to me hast thou granted great glory."
