τοὺς γῆς ἔνερθε δαίμονας κλύειν ἐμὰς

εὐχάς ,
πατρῴων δωμάτων ἐπισκόπους,
127
καὶ Γαῖαν αὐτήν ,
ἣ τὰ πάντα τίκτεται,
128
θρέψασά τ᾽ αὖθις τῶνδε κῦμα λαμβάνει:

κἀγὼ χέουσα τάσδε χέρνιβας βροτοῖς
130
λέγω καλοῦσα πατέρ᾽ , “

φίλον τ᾽ Ὀρέστην :
πῶς ἀνάξομεν δόμοις;
132
πεπραμένοι γὰρ νῦν γέ πως ἀλώμεθα
133
πρὸς τῆς τεκούσης ,
ἄνδρα δ᾽ ἀντηλλάξατο
