Φάος: φῶς. ὦ φάος ἁγνὸν καὶ γῆς ἰσόμοιρος ἀήρ: ὥς μοι πολλὰς μὲν θρήνων ᾠδάς, πολλὰς δ' ἀντήρεις ᾔσθου στέρνων πληγὰς αἱμασσομένων, ὁπόταν δνοφερὰ νὺξ ὑπολειφθῇ. ἡ Ἠλέκτρα φησί. λέγει δέ, ὅτι οὐ διαλείπω νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας κλαίουσα. καὶ αὖθις: ἥδιστον φάος ἡμέρας ἔσται τοῖς παροῦσι. καὶ ζήτει ἐν τῷ φόως.
