Deī Oenomaum rēgem per ōrāculum sīc [1] monuerant: ‘Ā generō [2] necāberis.’ Itaque Oenomaus ‘ Nēmō,’ inquit, ‘fīliam in mātrimōnium [3] dūcet.’  Multī tamen pulchram fīliam, Hippodamīam, amābant, multī [4] petēbant. Fīliam in mātrimōnium nōn ducēs,’ respondit omnibus, ‘nisi patrem in currūs certāmine [5] vīceris: sī [6] victus eris, morte poenās audāciae [7] persolvēs.’ Multī ad certāmen veniēbant, multī ā rēge [8] superābantur. Tandem Pelops Myrtilum, rēgis aurīgam, prōmissīs [9] conciliāvit. ‘Dīmidium rēgnī [10]  dabō,’ inquit, ‘sī in certāmine [11] adiūveris.’ Tum Myrtilus rēgiī currūs axem discidit: itaque rēx ē currū cecidit, Pelops victor cum Hippodamīa ad patriam revertit. Sed quamquam ā Myrtilō via ad victōriam [12] inventa erat, prōmissum Pelops [13] nōn praestitit. Nam ubi currum prope mare agēbat, aurīgam in aquam dēmīsit. Myrtilus autem, ‘Ā dīs immortālibus,’ clāmāvit, ‘auxilium [14] petō: rem tam foedam dī [15]  nōn neglegent: per omnēs annōs Pelopis perfidiae poenās Pelopidae persolvent.’
