τὸν δ' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειτα βοὴν ἀγαθὸς Διομήδης:
ναὶ δὴ ταῦτά γε πάντα γέρον κατα μοῖραν ἔειπες:
ἀλλὰ τόδ' αἰνὸν ἄχος κραδίην καὶ θυμὸν ϊκάνει:
Ἕκτωρ γάρ ποτε φήσει ἐνι Τρώεσσ' ἀγορεύων,
Τυδείδης ὑπ' ἐμεῖο φοβεύμενος ἵ̈κετο νῆας:
ὥς ποτ' ἀπειλήσει. τότε μοι χάνοι εὐρεῖα χθών:
And in answer to him spake Diomedes, good at the war cry: "Yea, verily, old sir, all this hast thou spoken according to right. But herein dread grief cometh upon my heart and soul, for Hector will some day say, as he speaketh in the gathering of the Trojans: ‘Tydeus' son, driven in flight before me, betook him to the ships.’ So shall he some day boast—on that day let the wide earth gape for me."
