But lo, now far from the city they are fighting at the hollow ships because of the baseness of our leader and the slackness of the people, that, being at strife with him, have no heart to defend the swift-faring ships, but are slain in the midst of them.
νῦν δὲ ἑκὰς πόλιος κοίλῃς ἐπὶ νηυσὶ μάχονται ἡγεμόνος κακότητι μεθημοσύνῃσί τε λαῶν , οἳ κείνῳ ἐρίσαντες ἀμυνέμεν οὐκ ἐθέλουσι νηῶν ὠκυπόρων , ἀλλὰ κτείνονται ἀν' αὐτάς .
νῦν δέ ἑκάς πόλις κοῖλος ἐπί ναῦς μάχομαι ἡγεμών κακότης μεθημοσύνη τε λαός , ὅς ἐκεῖνος ἐρίζω ἀμύνω οὐ ἐθέλω ναῦς ὠκύπορος , ἀλλά κτείνω ἀνά αὐτός .
