Hector, no longer in any way stand forth as a champion against Achilles, but in the throng await you him and from among the din of conflict, lest so be he strike you with a cast of his spear or with his sword in close combat.
Ἕκτορ μηκέτι πάμπαν Ἀχιλλῆϊ προμάχιζε , ἀλλὰ κατὰ πληθύν τε καὶ ἐκ φλοίσβοιο δέδεξο , μή πώς σ' ἠὲ βάλῃ ἠὲ σχεδὸν ἄορι τύψῃ .
Ἕκτωρ μηκέτι πάμπαν Ἀχιλλεύς προμαχίζω , ἀλλά κατά πληθύς τε καί ἐκ φλοῖσβος δέχομαι , μή πῶς σύ ἤ βάλλω ἤ σχεδόν ἄορ τύπτω .
