Aeneas and Hector, seeing that upon you above all others rests the war-toil of Trojans and Lycians, for in every undertaking you are the best both in war and in counsel, hold you your ground, and go you this way and that throughout the host and keep them back before the gates, or ever in flight they fling themselves in their women's arms, and be made a joy to their enemies.
Αἰνεία τε καὶ Ἕκτορ , ἐπεὶ πόνος ὔμμι μάλιστα Τρώων καὶ Λυκίων ἐγκέκλιται , οὕνεκ' ἄριστοι πᾶσαν ἐπ' ἰθύν ἐστε μάχεσθαί τε φρονέειν τε , στῆτ' αὐτοῦ , καὶ λαὸν ἐρυκάκετε πρὸ πυλάων πάντῃ ἐποιχόμενοι πρὶν αὖτ' ἐν χερσὶ γυναικῶν φεύγοντας πεσέειν , δηΐοισι δὲ χάρμα γενέσθαι .
Αἰνείας τε καί Ἕκτωρ , ἐπεί πόνος σύ μάλιστα Τρώς καί Λύκιοι ἐγκλίνω , οὕνεκα ἄριστος πᾶς ἐπί ἰθύς εἰμί μάχομαι τε φρονέω τε , ἵστημι αὐτοῦ , καί λαός ἐρύκω πρό πύλη πάντῃ ἐποίχομαι πρίν αὖτε ἐν χείρ γυνή φεύγω πίπτω , δάιος δέ χάρμα γίγνομαι .
