ἢ οὐκ ἀίεις οἷον κλέος ἔλλαβε δῖος Ὀρέστης
πάντας ἐπ᾽ ἀνθρώπους, ἐπεὶ ἔκτανε πατροφονῆα,
300 Αἴγισθον δολόμητιν, ὅ οἱ πατέρα κλυτὸν ἔκτα; 
Vel non audis qualem gloriam accepit gloriosus orestes
Omnibus in hominibus postquam interfecit patricidam
Egistam dolosa consideratum qui sibi patrem gloriosum interfecit 
Ægistus slew Orestes’ father. He
Ægistus slew. Who does not this relate
With honour to Orestes’ memory? 
Or hast thou not heard what fame the goodly Orestes won
among all mankind when he slew his father's murderer,
[300] the guileful Aegisthus, for that he slew his glorious father? 
. 
καὶ σύ, φίλος, μάλα γάρ σ᾽ ὁρόω καλόν τε μέγαν τε,
ἄλκιμος ἔσσ᾽, ἵνα τίς σε καὶ ὀψιγόνων ἐὺ εἴπῃ. 
Et tu amice ualde certe te uideo bonumque magnum
Fortis fias ut aliquis te posterorum hominum benedicat 
335 
And you, my friend, you are a goodly man.
Take heart. Gain honour.+ 
Thou too, my friend, for I see that thou art comely and tall,
be thou valiant, that many an one of men yet to be born may praise thee.

αὐτὰρ ἐγὼν ἐπὶ νῆα θοὴν κατελεύσομαι ἤδη
ἠδ᾽ ἑτάρους, οἵ πού με μάλ᾽ ἀσχαλόωσι μένοντες:
305 σοὶ δ᾽ αὐτῷ μελέτω, καὶ ἐμῶν ἐμπάζεο μύθων.’ 
Nam ego ad nauem citam veniam nunc
Atque ad sotios · qui iam me valde grauiter (t del. scriba) anxiuntur expectantes ·
Tibi autem ipsi vure sit : et meos cura sermones 
I must now be gone;
My crew with patience no longer can
Stay for me, therefore think what’s to be done. 
But now I will go down to my swift ship
and my comrades, who, methinks, are chafing much at waiting for me.
[305] For thyself, give heed and have regard to my words.”
