τὸν δ' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειτα γέρων Πρίαμος θεοειδής:
εἰ μὲν δὴ θεράπων Πηληιάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
εἶς, ἄγε δή μοι πᾶσαν ἀληθείην κατάλεξον:
εἰ ἔτι πὰρ νήεσσιν ἐμὸς πάϊς: ἠέ μιν ἤδη
ᾗσι κυσὶν μελειστὶ ταμὼν προύθηκεν Ἀχιλλεύς:
And the old man, godlike Priam, answered him: "If thou art indeed a squire of Peleus' son Achilles, come now, tell me all the truth, whether my son is even yet by the ships or whether by now Achilles hath hewn him limb from limb and cast him before his dogs."
