Translation

"[Now by] your mother and by your father, child, and by anyone else who is dear to you in your home I supplicate you as a suppliant, don't leave me alone like this, deserted in the midst of these evils that you see and that you have heard that I am living among."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πρὸς νῦν σε μητρὸς πρός τε πατρός, ὦ τέκνον, πρός τ', εἴ τις σοι κατ' οἶκόν ἐστι προσφιλές, ἱκέτης ἱκνοῦμαι, μὴ λίπῃς μ' οὕτω μόνον, ἔρημον ἐν κακοῖσι τοῖσδε γ', οἷς ὁρᾷς, ὅσοις τ' ἐξήκουσας ἐνναίοντά με.
