[Meaning] as it is possible for me, as I have power. Orestes says: "lord Apollo, hear the two of them1 favorably, and me in addition, who have often stood before you, my hands offering many things of what I had. And now, Apollo Lykios, from what I have, I beg, I fall before you, I beseech, be a willing helper to us in these plans."

Ἐξ οἵων ἔχω· ὡς ἔστι μοι δυνατόν, ὡς δυνάμεως ἔχω. Ὀρέστης φησίν· ἄναξ Ἄπολλον, ἵλεως αὐτοῖν κλύε, ἐμοῦ τε πρὸς τούτοισιν, ἥ σε πολλὰ δὴ ἀφ' ὧν ἔχοιμι, λιπαρεῖ προὔστην χερί. νῦν δ', ὦ Λύκι' Ἄπολλον, ἐξ οἵων ἔχω, αἰτῶ, προσπιτνῶ, λίσσομαι, γενοῦ πρόφρων ἡμῖν ἀρωγὸς τῶνδε τῶν βουλευμάτων.
