These were led by Tlepolemus, famed for his spear, he that was born to mighty Heracles by Astyocheia, whom he had led forth out of Ephyre from the river Selleïs, when he had laid waste many cities of warriors fostered of Zeus.
τῶν μὲν Τληπόλεμος δουρὶ κλυτὸς ἡγεμόνευεν , ὃν τέκεν Ἀστυόχεια βίῃ Ἡρακληείῃ , τὴν ἄγετ' ἐξ Ἐφύρης ποταμοῦ ἄπο Σελλήεντος πέρσας ἄστεα πολλὰ διοτρεφέων αἰζηῶν . [0]
ὁ μέν Τληπόλεμος δόρυ κλυτός ἡγεμονεύω , ὅς τίκτω Ἀστυόχεια βία Ἡράκλειος , ὁ ἄγω ἐκ Ἐφύρα ποταμός ἀπό Σελλήεις πέρθω ἄστυ πολύς διοτρεφής αἰζηός .
