Iliad 11: 837-841

From the Venetus A MS

τὸν δ' αῦτε προσέειπε Μενοιτίου ἄλκιμος υἱός:

πῶς τάρ έοι τάδε ἔργα: τί ῥέξομεν Εὐρύπυλ' ἥρως.

ἔρχομαι ὄφρ' Ἀχιλῆϊ δαΐφρονι μῦθον ἐνίσπω

ὃν Νέστωρ ἐπέτελλε Γερήνιος οῦρος Ἀχαιῶν:

ἀλλ' οὐδ' ὧς περ σεῖο μεθήσω τειρομένοιο:

And to him again spake the valiant son of Menoetius: "How may these things be? What shall we do, warrior Eurypylus? I am on my way to declare to wise-hearted Achilles a message wherewith Nestor of Gerenia, warder of the Achaeans, charged me. Nay, but even so will I not neglect thee that art in grievous plight."
