O Kypris and the Nereids, I pray youto sail my brother home unharmedand let him accomplish allthat is in his heartand be released from former errorand carry joy to his friendsand bane to enemies and let no onebring us more grief.Let him honor me his sister.But black tormentsuffering for early days,citizens accused.Was it over millet seed?Pure Kypris, put asideold anger and free him fromevil sorrow
