τὸν δ' αὖτε προσέειπε ποδάρκης δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς:
ἔσται τοι καὶ ταῦτα γέρον Πρίαμ' ὡς σὺ κελεύεις:
σχήσω γὰρ τόσσον πόλεμον χρόνον, ὅσσον ἄνωγας:
Then spake to him in answer swift-footed, goodly Achilles: "Thus shall this also be aged Priam, even as thou wouldest have it; for I will hold back the battle for such time as thou dost bid."
