ἔνθα τίνα πρῶτον Τρώων ἕλε Τεῦκρος ἀμύμων:
Ὀρσίλοχον μὲν πρῶτα καὶ Όρμενον, ἠδ`' Ὀφελέστην.
Δαίτορά τε. Χρομίον τε, καὶ ἀντίθεον Λυκοφόντην:
καὶ Πολυαιμονίδην Ἀμοπάονα καὶ Μελάνιππον:
τὸν δὲ ἰδὼν γήθησεν ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν Ἀγαμέμνων
τόξου ἀπο κρατεροῦ Τρώων ὀλέκοντα φάλαγγας:
στῆ δὲ πὰρ' αὐτὸν ἰὼν, καί μιν πρὸς μῦθον ἔειπε:
Τεῦκρε, φίλη κεφαλὴ. Τελαμώνιε. κοίρανε λαῶν,
βάλλ' οὕτως. αἴ κέν τι φόως Δαναοῖσι γένηαι
πατρί τε σῷ Τελαμῶνι. ὅ, σ' ἔτρεφε τυτθὸν ἐόντα:
καί σε νόθον περ, ἐόντα κομίσσατο ᾧ ἐνὶ οἴκῳ
τὸν καὶ τηλόθ' ἐόντα ἐϋκλείης ἐπίβησον:
σοὶ δ' ἐγὼ ἐξερέω ὡς καὶ τετελεσμένον ἔσται:
αἴ κέν μοι δῴη Ζεύς τ' αἰγίοχος καὶ Ἀθήνη
Ἰ̈λίου ἐξαλαπάξαι ἐϋκτίμενον πτολίεθρον.
πρώτῳ τοι μετ εμὲ πρεσβήϊον ἐν χερὶ θήσω.
ἢ τρίποδ' ἠὲ δύω ἵππους αὐτοῖσιν ὄχεσφιν.
ἠὲ γυναῖχ'. ἥ κέν τοι ὁμὸν λέχος εἰσαναβαίνοι:
Whom first then of the Trojans did peerless Teucer slay? Orsilochus first and Ormenus and Ophelestes and Daetor and Chromius and godlike Lycophontes and Amopaon, Polyaemon's son, and Melanippus. All these, one after another, he brought down to the bounteous earth. And at sight of him Agamemnon, king of men, waxed glad, as with his mighty bow he made havoc of the battalions of the Trojans; and he came and stood by his side and spake to him, saying: "Teucer, beloved, son of Telamon, captain of hosts, shoot on in this wise, if so be thou mayest prove a light of deliverance to the Danaans and a glory to thy father Telamon, who reared thee when thou wast a babe, and for all thou wast a bastard cherished thee in his own house; him, far away though he be, do thou bring to honour. Moreover, I will declare to thee as it verily shall be brought to pass. If Zeus that beareth the aegis, and Athene shall vouchsafe me to lay waste the well-built citadel of Ilios, in thy hand first after mine own self will I place a meed of honour, either a tripod or two horses with their car, or a woman that shall go up into thy bed."
