Πηλεΐδης δ᾽ ἐξαῦτις ἀταρτηροῖς ἐπέεσσιν
Ἀτρεΐδην προσέειπε, καὶ οὔ πω λῆγε χόλοιο:
225 οἰνοβαρές, κυνὸς ὄμματ᾽ ἔχων, κραδίην δ᾽ ἐλάφοιο,
οὔτέ ποτ᾽ ἐς πόλεμον ἅμα λαῷ θωρηχθῆναι
οὔτε λόχον δ᾽ ἰέναι σὺν ἀριστήεσσιν Ἀχαιῶν
τέτληκας θυμῷ: τὸ δέ τοι κὴρ εἴδεται εἶναι. 
Pellides autem uerum contumacibus verbis
Atridem alloquitur et non dum finiebat iram
Grauis uino canis oculos habens cor autem cerui
Nec unquam ad bellum simul cum populo armari
Neque in insidias ire cum valentibus grecorum
Sustinuisti animo · hoc tibi non apparet esse 
But the son of Peleus again addressed with violent words the son of Atreus, and in no way ceased from his wrath: “Heavy with wine, with the face of a dog but the heart of a deer, [225] never have you had courage to arm for battle along with your people, or go forth to an ambush with the chiefs of the Achaeans. That seems to you even as death. 
ἦ πολὺ λώϊόν ἐστι κατὰ στρατὸν εὐρὺν Ἀχαιῶν
230 δῶρ᾽ ἀποαιρεῖσθαι ὅς τις σέθεν ἀντίον εἴπῃ:
δημοβόρος βασιλεὺς ἐπεὶ οὐτιδανοῖσιν ἀνάσσεις:
ἦ γὰρ ἂν Ἀτρεΐδη νῦν ὕστατα λωβήσαιο. 
Quod uel multum destructibile est per exercitum amplum grecorum
Dona accipere · Si quis tibi contrarium dicat
Poplum comedens imperator qua dominaris
Certe enim in Atridem · si nunc non postea laedam 
Indeed it is far better throughout the wide camp of the Achaeans to deprive of his prize whoever speaks contrary to you. [230] People-devouring king, since you rule over nobodies; else, son of Atreus, this would be your last piece of insolence. 
ἀλλ᾽ ἔκ τοι ἐρέω καὶ ἐπὶ μέγαν ὅρκον ὀμοῦμαι:
ναὶ μὰ τόδε σκῆπτρον, τὸ μὲν οὔ ποτε φύλλα καὶ ὄζους
235 φύσει, ἐπεὶ δὴ πρῶτα τομὴν ἐν ὄρεσσι λέλοιπεν,
οὐδ᾽ ἀναθηλήσει: περὶ γάρ ῥά ἑ χαλκὸς ἔλεψε
φύλλά τε καὶ φλοιόν: νῦν αὖτέ μιν υἷες Ἀχαιῶν
ἐν παλάμῃς φορέουσι δικασπόλοι, οἵ τε θέμιστας
πρὸς Διὸς εἰρύαται: ὃ δέ τοι μέγας ἔσσεται ὅρκος: 
Sed tibi dicam · et ad magnum sacramntum iuro
Sic per hoc sceptrum · quod numquam frondes et ramos
Pululabit postquam praemitus incisionem in montibus dimisit
Neque florescet qua leuiter ipsum ferrum leniuit
Frondesque et corticem · nunc iterum illu filii greacorum
In palamis ferunt Iusti qui iustitiam
In Ioue feruant · hoc autem magnum erit sacramentum 
But I will speak out to you, and will swear thereto a mighty oath: by this staff, that shall never more put forth leaves or shoots since first it left its stump among the mountains, [235] nor shall it again grow green, for the bronze has stripped it on all sides of leaves and bark, and now the sons of the Achaeans carry it in their hands when they act as judges, those who guard the ordinances that come from Zeus; and this shall be for you a mighty oath. 
240 ἦ ποτ᾽ Ἀχιλλῆος ποθὴ ἵξεται υἷας Ἀχαιῶν
σύμπαντας: τότε δ᾽ οὔ τι δυνήσεαι ἀχνύμενός περ
χραισμεῖν, εὖτ᾽ ἂν πολλοὶ ὑφ᾽ Ἕκτορος ἀνδροφόνοιο
θνήσκοντες πίπτωσι: σὺ δ᾽ ἔνδοθι θυμὸν ἀμύξεις
χωόμενος ὅ τ᾽ ἄριστον Ἀχαιῶν οὐδὲν ἔτισας. 
Si quando achillis petitio veniat ad filios grecorum
Omnes quibus non poteris contristansque
Auxiliari bene · quin multi ab hectore homicida
Morientes cadent : tu autem intus animus sucabis
Iratus qua optimum grecorum non honoranisti 
Surely some day a longing for Achilles will come upon the sons of the Achaeans [240] one and all, and on that day you will not be able to help them at all, for all your grief, when many shall fall dying before man-slaying Hector. But you will gnaw the heart within you, in anger that you did no honour to the best of the Achaeans.” 
245 ὣς φάτο Πηλεΐδης, ποτὶ δὲ σκῆπτρον βάλε γαίῃ
χρυσείοις ἥλοισι πεπαρμένον, ἕζετο δ᾽ αὐτός:
Ἀτρεΐδης δ᾽ ἑτέρωθεν ἐμήνιε: τοῖσι δὲ Νέστωρ
ἡδυεπὴς ἀνόρουσε λιγὺς Πυλίων ἀγορητής,
τοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης μέλιτος γλυκίων ῥέεν αὐδή: 
Sic fatus pellides in autem sceptrum posuit terra
Aureis clauis traiectum sedit et ipse
Atrides autem ex alia parte irascebatur · his autem Nestor
Dulcis verbo surrexit subtilis a pilo concionator ·
Cuius et a lingua melle dultior fluebat elocutio 
So spoke the son of Peleus, and down to the earth he dashed [245] the staff studded with golden nails, and himself sat down, while over against him the son of Atreus continued to vent his wrath. Then among them arose Nestor, sweet of speech, the clear-voiced orator of the Pylians, from whose tongue flowed speech sweeter than honey. 
250 τῷ δ᾽ ἤδη δύο μὲν γενεαὶ μερόπων ἀνθρώπων
ἐφθίαθ᾽, οἵ οἱ πρόσθεν ἅμα τράφεν ἠδ᾽ ἐγένοντο
ἐν Πύλῳ ἠγαθέῃ, μετὰ δὲ τριτάτοισιν ἄνασσεν:
ὅ σφιν ἐὺ φρονέων ἀγορήσατο καὶ μετέειπεν: 
Cuique iam due certe generrationes meropum hominum
Transfuerent · qui eo autem simul nutriti fuerunt et nati
In pilo gloriosa et cum tertiis dominabatur
Qui ipsis bene sentiens concionarus est et vera dixit 
Two generations of mortal men had passed away in his lifetime, [250] who had been born and reared with him before in sacred Pylos, and he was king among the third. He with good intent addressed the gathering and spoke among them:
