ὣς φάθ'. ὃ δὲ τόξον μὲν ἐνι κλισίῃσιν ἔθηκεν:
αὐτὰρ ὅ γ' ἀμφ' ὤμοισι σάκος θέτο τετραθέλυμνον:
κρᾱτὶ δ' ἐπ' ἰ̈φθίμῳ κυνέην εὔτυκτον ἔθηκεν.
εἵλετο δ' ἄλκιμον ἔγχος. ἀκαχμένον ὀξέϊ χαλκῷ:
βῆ δ' ϊέναι. μάλα δ' ῶκα θέων Αἴαντι παρέστη:
So spake he, and Teucer laid the bow again within the hut, but about his shoulders put a fourfold shield, and upon his mighty head set a well-wrought helmet with horse-hair crest; and terribly did the plume nod from above; and he took a valorous spear, tipped with sharp bronze, and went his way, and swiftly ran and took his stand by the side of Aias.
