CHOROS.
What evil, O woman, food or drink, earth-bred
Or sent from the flowing sea,
Of such having fed
Didst thou set on thee
This sacrifice
And popular cries
Of a curse on thy head?
1410
Off thou hast thrown him, off hast cut
The man from the city: but —
Off from the city thyself shalt be
Cut — to the citizens
A hate immense!

Now, indeed, thou adjudgest exile to me,
And citizens’ hate, and to have popular curses:
Nothing of this against the man here bringing,
Who, no more awe-checked than as ’t were a beast’s fate, —
1415
With sheep abundant in the well-fleeced graze-flocks, —
Sacrificed his child, — dearest fruit of travail
To me, — as song-spell against Threkian blowings.
Not him did it behove thee hence to banish
— Pollution’s penalty? But hearing mzy deeds
1420
Justicer rough thou art! Now, this I tell thee:
To threaten thus — me, one prepared to have thee
(On like conditions, thy hand conquering) o’er me
Rule: but if God the opposite ordain us,
Thou shalt learn — late taught, certes — to be modest.

CHOROS.
Greatly-intending thou art:
Much-mindful, too, hast thou cried
(Since thy mind, with its slaughter-outpouring part,
Is frantic) that over the eyes, a patch
Of blood — with blood to match —
Is plain for a pride!
Yet still, bereft of friends, thy fate
Is — blow with blow to expiate!

καὶ δὴ vir dis respicitur ad v. 1303. 1305. Deinde libri
κἀν δυοῖν οἰμώγμασιν. Verissimum esse puto, quod Elmsleius ad Med. v. 798. p. 203. significat, scribendum esse
οἰμωγμῶν, docens ille
δύο quidem, sed non
δυοῖν cum alio pluralis numeri nomine consociari. Quod est de tragicis et ceteris antiquioribus scriptoribus intelligendum. Recentiores enim minus in hoc genere videntur diligentes fuisse: vide Göttlingium ad Theodosium p. 212. seq. quem Aristophanis et Demosthenis auctoritate uti non debuisse G. Dindorfius et Schaeferus animadverterunt.
