ἄμφω, νοστήσαιμεν, ἐπεὶ περίοιδε νοῆσαι:
Τὸν δ' αὖτε προσέειπε πολύτλας δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς:
Τυδείδη: μήτ ἄρ με, μάλ' αἴνεε μήτε τί, νείκει:

ἂλλ' ἴ̈ομεν; μάλα γὰρ νὺξ ἄνεται: ἐγγύθι δ' ἠώς:
ἄστρα δὲ δὴ προβέβηκε: παρωίχηκεν δὲ πλέω νὺξ:
τῶν δύο μοιράων. τριτάτη δ έτι μοῖρα λέλειπται:

Nay, let us go, for verily the night is waning and dawn draweth near; lo, the stars have moved onward, and of the night more than two watches have past, and the third alone is left us."
