For he killed Othryoneus of Cabesus, a sojourner in Troy, that was but newly come following the rumour of war; and he asked in marriage the comeliest of the daughters of Priam, even Cassandra; he brought no gifts of wooing, but promised a mighty deed, that he would drive forth against their will out of Troy the sons of Achaeans.
πέφνε γὰρ Ὀθρυονῆα Καβησόθεν ἔνδον ἐόντα , ὅς ῥα νέον πολέμοιο μετὰ κλέος εἰληλούθει , ᾔτεε δὲ Πριάμοιο θυγατρῶν εἶδος ἀρίστην Κασσάνδρην ἀνάεδνον , ὑπέσχετο δὲ μέγα ἔργον , ἐκ Τροίης ἀέκοντας ἀπωσέμεν υἷας Ἀχαιῶν .
θείνω γάρ Ὀθρυονεύς Καβησόθεν ἔνδον εἰμί , ὅς ἄρα νέος πόλεμος μετά κλέος ἔρχομαι , αἰτέω δέ Πρίαμος θυγάτηρ εἶδος ἄριστος Κασσάνδρη ἀνάεδνος , ὑπισχνέομαι δέ μέγας ἔργον , ἐκ Τροία ἀέκων ἀπωθέω υἱός Ἀχαιός .
