Τὸν δ’ ἀπαμειβόμενος προσέφη Τελαμώνιος Αἴας:
οὕτω νῦν καὶ ἐμοὶ περὶ δούρατι χεῖρες ἄαπτοι
μαιμῶσιν. καί μοι μένος ώρορε; νέρθε πόδεσσιν
ἔσσυμαι ἀμφοτέροισι: μενοινώω δὲ καὶ οἶος
Ἕκτορι Πριαμίδῃ ἄμοτον μεμαῶτι μάχεσθαι:
Then in answer spake to him Telamonian Aias: "Even so too mine own hands invincible are fain now to grasp the spear, and my might is roused, and both my feet are swift beneath me; and I am eager to meet even in single fight Hector, Priam's son, that rageth incessantly."
