	ἡ ὑπόθεσις ἔμμετρος·

	Ἐν χρύση ἀθηνᾶς βωμὸν ἐπικεχωσμένον,
	ἐφ’ οὗπερ αχαιοῖς χρησθὲν ἦν θῦσαι μόνοις,
	ποίαν ἤδη παῖς τὸ θ' ἡρακλεῖ συνών,
	ζητῶν δὲ τοῦτον ναυάτην δεῖξαι στόλον·
	πληγεὶς ὑπ’ ἔχεως, ἐλίπετ’ ἐν λήμνω νοσῶν·
	ἕλενος δ’ ἀχαιοῖς εἶφ’ ἁλώσεσθ’ ἴλιον
	τοῖς ἡρακλέους τόξοισι· παιδί τ’ ἀχιλλέως.
	τὰ τόξ’ ὑπῆρχε παρὰ φιλοκτήτη μόνω.
	πεμφθεὶς δ’ ὀδυσσεὺς ἀμφοτέρους συνήγαγεν:
