which inhabit the tomb; and you, Zeus the Savior, invoked third[*], the guardian of the habitations of righteous men: receive as suppliants this band of women with the compassionate spirit of the land. But
the thronging swarm of violent men born of Aegyptus, should they set foot upon this marshy land, drive them seaward—and with them their swift ship—and there may they encounter a cruel sea with thunder, lightning, and rain-charged winds,
and perish by the tempest’s buffeting blasts, if they ever lay their hands on us, their cousins, and mount unwilling beds from which Right holds them aloof.

Chorus
And now I invoke, as our champion from beyond the sea, the calf born of Zeus, the offspring of the flower-grazing cow, our ancestress,
the caress of Zeus’ breath. The appointed period confirmed itself in a name suited to the event—Epaphus[*], to whom she gave birth.
