What Achilles would have said when he saw the Armour lying before him

Codex Palatinus 23, p.437

Texts

μῆτερ, τεύχεα ταῦτα καὶ ἀγλαὰ δῶρα κομίζεις
ἀγχεμάχῳ σέο παιδί, τὰ μὴ πάρος ἔδρακεν ἀνήρ:
οἶδα δὲ νῦν ὅτι Παλλὰς ἐφ᾽ Ἕκτορι χεῖρα κορύσσει
ἡμετέρην, καὶ Τρωσὶν ἀεικέα λοιγὸν ἐγείρει.

— Paton edition

Mother, thou bringest to thy valiant son this
armour, a glorious gift such as no man ever looked
on. Now I know that Pallas arms my hand against
Hector, and prepares disgrace and death for the
Trojans.
