Iliad 5: 159-165

From the Venetus A MS

Ἔνθ' υἷας Πριάμοιο δύω λάβε Δαρδανίδαο

εἰν ἑνὶ δίφρῳ ἐόντας, Ἐχέμμονά τε χρομίον τε:

ὡς δὲ λέων ἐν βουσὶ θορῶν ἐξ αυχένα άξῃ

πόρτιος ἠὲ βοὸς ξύλοχον κάτα βοσκομενάων.

ὡς τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐξ ἵππων Τυδέος υἱὸς

βῆσε κακῶς ἀἕκοντας: ἔπειτα δὲ τεύχε' ἐσύλα:

ἵ̈ππους δ' οἷς ἑτάροισι δίδου μετὰ νῆας ἐλαύνειν.

Then took he two sons of Priam, Dardanus' son, Echemmon and Chromius, the twain being in one car. Even as a lion leapeth among the kine and breaketh the neck of a heifer or a cow as they graze in a woodland pasture, so did Tydeus' son thrust both these in evil wise from their car, sorely against their will, and thereafter despoiled them of their armour; and the horses he gave to his comrades to drive to the ships.
