οἳ καὶ Μῃόνας ἦγον˙ ὑπο Τμώλῳ γεγαῶτας:
Νάστης αὖ, Καρῶν ἡγήσατο βαρβαροφώνων
οἳ Μίλητον ἔχον: Φθῑρῶν τ' ὄρος ἀκριτόφυλλον
Μαιάνδρου τὲ ῥοὰς, Μυκάλης τ' αἰπεινὰ κάρηνα:
τῶν μὲν ὰρ Ἀμφίμαχος καὶ Νάστης ἡγησάσθην:
Νάστης Ἀμφίμαχός τε Νομίονος, ἀγλαὰ τέκνα:
ὃς καὶ χρυσὸν ἔχων πόλεμον δ' ΐεν ἠΰτε κούρη
νήπιος. οὐδέ τι οἱ τό γ' ἐπήρκεσε λυγρὸν ὄλεθρον:
ἀλλ' ἐδάμη ὑπο χερσὶ ποδώκεος Αἰακίδαο
ἐν ποταμῷ: χρυσὸν δ' Ἀχιλεὺς ἐκόμισσε δαΐφρων:
And Nastes again led the Carians, uncouth of speech, who held Miletus and the mountain of Phthires, dense with its leafage, and the streams of Maeander, and the steep crests of Mycale. These were led by captains twain, Amphimachus and Nastes—Nastes and Amphimachus, the glorious children of Nomion. And he came to the war all decked with gold, like a girl, fool that he was; but his gold in no wise availed to ward off woeful destruction; nay, he was slain in the river beneath the hands of the son of Aeacus, swift of foot; and Achilles, wise of heart, bare off the gold.
