Iliad 11: 426-433

From the Venetus A MS

τοὺς μὲν ἔασ': ὁ δ' ὰρ Ἱππασίδην Χάροπ' οὔτασε δουρὶ.

αὐτοκασίγνητον εὐηγενέος Σώκοιο:

τῷ δ' ἐπαλεξήσων Σῶκος κίεν ἰ̈σόθεος φώς:

στῆ δὲ μάλ' ἐγγὺς ἰ̈ών: καί μιν πρὸς μῦθον έειπεν:

ὦ Ὀδυσεῦ πολύαινε. δόλων ᾶτ' ἠδὲ πόνοιο:

σήμερον ἠ δοιοῖσιν ἐπεύξεαι Ἱππασίδῃσι:

τοιῶδ' ἄνδρε κατακτείνας καὶ τεύχε' ἀπούρας.

ῆ κεν ἐμῷ ὑπὸ δουρὶ τυπεὶς. ἀπὸ θυμὸν ὀλέσσῃς:

These then he let be, but smote Charops, son of Hippasus, with a thrust of his spear, even the own brother of wealthy Socus. And to bear him aid came Socus, a godlike man; close to Odysseus he came, and took his stand, and he spake, saying: "Odysseus, greatly to be praised, insatiate in wiles and in toil, this day shalt thou either boast over both the sons of Hippasus, for that thou hast slain two such warriors and stripped them of their armour, or else smitten by my spear shalt thou lose thy life."
