Iliad 24: 138-140

From the Venetus A MS

τὴν δ' ἀπαμειβόμενος. προσέφη πόδας ὠκὺς Ἀχιλλε` [Ἀχιλλεύς]:

τῇδ' εἴη. ὃς ἄποινα φέροι. καὶ νεκρὸν ἄγοιτο:

εἰ δὴ πρόφρονι θυμῷ Ὀλύμπιος αὐτὸς ἀνώγει:

Then in answer to her spake Achilles, swift of foot: "So let it be; whoso bringeth ransom, let him bear away the dead, if verily with full purpose of heart the Olympian himself so biddeth."

A. T. Murray (1924)
