φεύξεσθ', ἐκ πολέμοιο δυσηχέος ἀλλα μάλ' ἄντην
ἵ̈στασθ' ἀμφ' Αἴαντα μέγαν Τελαμώνιον υἱόν:
ὡς ἔφατ' Εὐρύπυλος βεβλημένος. οἱ δὲ παρ' αὐτὸν
πλησίοι έστησαν, σάκε' ὤμοισι κλίναντες:
δούρατ' ἀνασχόμενοι. τῶν δ' ἀντίος ἤλυθεν Αἴας:
στῆ δὲ μεταστρεφθεὶς. ἐπεὶ ί̈κετο έθνος ἑταίρων:
So spake the wounded Eurypylus, and they came and stood close beside him, leaning their shields against their shoulders and holding their spears on high; and toward them came Aias, and turned and stood when he had reached the throng of his comrades.
