στάζει θυηλῆς Ἄρεος, οὐδ᾽ ἔχω ψέγειν.

Ἠλέκτρα
Ὀρέστα, πῶς κυρεῖτε;

Ὀρέστης
τἀν δόμοισι μὲν
1425καλῶς, Ἀπόλλων εἰ καλῶς ἐθέσπισεν.

Ἠλέκτρα
τέθνηκεν ἡ τάλαινα;

Ὀρέστης
μηκέτ᾽ ἐκφοβοῦ
μητρῷον ὥς σε λῆμ᾽ ἀτιμάσει ποτέ.

Χορός

παύσασθε: λεύσσω γὰρ Αἴγισθον ἐκ προδήλου.

Ἠλέκτρα
ὦ παῖδες, οὐκ ἄψορρον;

Ὀρέστης
εἰσορᾶτε ποῦ τὸν ἄνδρ᾽;

Ἠλέκτρα
ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν οὗτος ἐκ προαστίου
χωρεῖ γεγηθὼς ...

δι᾽ ὠτὸς ἂν παῦρά γ᾽ ὡς ἠπίως ἐννέπειν
1440πρὸς ἄνδρα τόνδε συμφέροι, λαθραῖον ὡς
ὀρούσῃ πρὸς δίκας ἀγῶνα.
