Ὡς έφαθ', οἱ δ`' εὔχοντο Διῒ Κρονίωνι ἄνακτι:
ὧδε δέ τις εἴπεσκεν. ἰδὼν εἰς οὐρανὸν εὐρύν:
Ζεῦ πάτερ, Ί̈δηθεν μεδέων. κύδιστε. μέγιστε:
δὸς νίκην Αἴαντι. καὶ ἀγλαὸν εὖχος ἀρέσθαι:
εἰ δὲ καὶ Ἕκτορά περ φιλέεις. καὶ κήδεαι αὐτοῦ:
ἴ̈σην ἀμφοτέροισι βίην καὶ κῦδος ὄπασσον:
So spake he, and they made prayer to king Zeus, son of Cronos; and thus would one speak with a glance up to the broad heaven: "Father Zeus, that rulest from Ida, most glorious, most great, vouchsafe victory to Aias and that he win him glorious renown; or if so be thou lovest Hector too, and carest for him, vouchsafe to both equal might and glory."
