Εὔφωνον κήρυκα· δυνάμενον μέγα βοῆσαι.

Betacode

*eu)/fwnon kh/ruka: duna/menon me/ga boh=sai.

Notes

Fine-voiced heralds were something of a commonplace (Xenophon, Hellenica 2.4.20; Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 713 for a female one); the origin of the present phrase, in the accusative case, is presumably Demosthenes 19.338.
cf. generally epsilon 3803.
