285 τὸν δ᾽ ἀπαμειβόμενος προσέφη κρείων Ἀγαμέμνων:
‘ναὶ δὴ ταῦτά γε πάντα γέρον κατὰ μοῖραν ἔειπες:
ἀλλ᾽ ὅδ᾽ ἀνὴρ ἐθέλει περὶ πάντων ἔμμεναι ἄλλων, 
Huic autem retribuens fatus este rex agamemnon ·
Ita certe haec senex per conueniens dixisti
Sed hic uir uult supra omnes et esse alios 
In answer to him spoke lord Agamemnon: [285] “All these things, old man, to be sure, you have spoken as is right. But this man wishes to be above all others; 
πάντων μὲν κρατέειν ἐθέλει, πάντεσσι δ᾽ ἀνάσσειν,
πᾶσι δὲ σημαίνειν, ἅ τιν᾽ οὐ πείσεσθαι ὀΐω:
290 εἰ δέ μιν αἰχμητὴν ἔθεσαν θεοὶ αἰὲν ἐόντες
τοὔνεκά οἱ προθέουσιν ὀνείδεα μυθήσασθαι;’ 
Omnibus certe dominari uult in omnibus regnare
Omnibus significare · quae non sequentur puto
Si ipsum bellicosum posuerunt dii una existentes
Propter hoc ei praeparant ignatiam scire 
over all he wishes to rule and over all to be king, and to all to give orders; in this, I think, there is someone who will not obey. If the gods who exist for ever made him a spearman, [290] do they therefore license him to keep uttering insults?”
