Question 1

ὣς εἰπὼν δμώεσσιν ἐκέκλετο, τοὶ δ᾽ ἐπίθοντο.
οἱ μὲν ἄρ᾽ ἐκτὸς ἄμαξαν ἐύτροχον ἡμιονείην
ὥπλεον, ἡμιόνους θ᾽ ὕπαγον ζεῦξάν θ᾽ ὑπ᾽ ἀπήνῃ:
κούρη δ᾽ ἐκ θαλάμοιο φέρεν ἐσθῆτα φαεινήν.
καὶ τὴν μὲν κατέθηκεν ἐυξέστῳ ἐπ᾽ ἀπήνῃ,
μήτηρ δ᾽ ἐν κίστῃ ἐτίθει μενοεικέ᾽ ἐδωδὴν
παντοίην, ἐν δ᾽ ὄψα τίθει, ἐν δ᾽ οἶνον ἔχευεν
ἀσκῷ ἐν αἰγείῳ: κούρη δ᾽ ἐπεβήσετ᾽ ἀπήνης.
δῶκεν δὲ χρυσέῃ ἐν ληκύθῳ ὑγρὸν ἔλαιον,
ἧος χυτλώσαιτο σὺν ἀμφιπόλοισι γυναιξίν.

Answer 1

Having spoken in this way, he called to the slaves, and they obeyed. They then began to fit out the swift-running wagon pulled by mules outside, and they led the mules and yoked them under the cart; the girl took the shining clothes from the bedroom. And she placed them onto the well-polished cart, while her mother put delicious food of all sorts into a box, and put some relish in, and poured some wine into a goatskin bottle; and the girl got up on the cart. She gave her liquid oil in a golden flask, so that she could rub it on herself together with the attendants.
