Begone from our island with speed, thou vilest of all that live.In line 75 Murray prints ἄρα θεοῖσιν but translates the variant ἀθανάτοισιν, a rare slip. The mistake persists in George E. Dimock's revision of Murray.
In no wise may I help or send upon his way
that man who is hated of the blessed gods.
Begone, for thou comest hither as one hated of the immortals.
ἔρρ᾽ ἐκ νήσου θᾶσσον, ἐλέγχιστε ζωόντων·
οὐ γάρ μοι θέμις ἐστὶ κομιζέμεν οὐδ᾽ ἀποπέμπειν
ἄνδρα τόν, ὅς κε θεοῖσιν ἀπέχθηται μακάρεσσιν·
ἔρρε, ἐπεὶ ἄρα θεοῖσιν ἀπεχθόμενος τόδ᾽ ἱκάνεις.
