Ἔνθ' Ἀμαρυγκείδην Διώρεα μοῖρ' ἐπέδησε.
χερμαδίῳ γὰρ βλῆτο παρὰ σφυρὸν ὀκριόεντι
κνήμην δεξιτερήν: βάλε δὲ Θρῃκῶν ἀγὸς ἀνδρῶν.
Πείρως Ϊμβρασίδης. ὃς ἂρ Αἰνόθεν εἰληλούθει:
ἀμφοτέρω δὲ τένοντε καὶ ὀστέα λᾶας ἀναιδὴς
ἄχρις ἀπηλοίησεν: ὁ δ' ὕπτιος ἐν κονίῃσι
κάππεσεν: ἄμφω χεῖρε φίλοις ἑτάροισι πετάσσας:
θυμὸν ἀποπνείων. ὁ δ' ἐπέδραμεν: ὅς ρ' ἔβαλέν περ
Πείρως: οῦτα δὲ δουρὶ παρ' ὀμφαλὸν ὀμφαλόν. ἐκ δ' ἄρα πᾶσαι
χύντο χαμαὶ χολάδες. τὸν δὲ σκότος ὄσσ' ἐκάλυψεν:
Then was Amarynceus' son, Diores, caught in the snare of fate; for with a jagged stone was he smitten on the right leg by the ankle, and it was the leader of the Thracians that made the cast, even Peiros, son of Imbrasus, that had come from Aenus. The sinews twain and the bones did the ruthless stone utterly crush; and he fell backward in the dust and stretched out both his hands to his dear comrades, gasping out his life; and there ran up he that smote him, Peiros, and dealt him a wound with a thrust of his spear beside the navel; and forth upon the ground gushed all his bowels, and darkness enfolded his eyes.
