τὸν δ' ἀπαμειβόμενος προσέφη Τελαμώνιος Αἴας:
Ἰ̈δαῖ': Ἕκτορια ταῦτα κελεύετε μυθήσασθαι:
αὐτὸς γὰρ χάρμῃ προκαλέσσατο πάντας ἀρίστους.
ἀρχέτω. αὐτὰρ ἐγὼ μάλα πείσομαι. ᾗ περ ἂν οὗτος:
Then in answer to him spake Telamonian Aias: "Idaeus, bid ye Hector speak these words, [285] for it was he who of himself challenged to combat all our best. Let him be first and I verily will hearken even as he shall say."
