ὡς ἄρα φωνήσας ἀπέβη Τελαμώνιος Αἴας:
καί οἱ Τεῦκρος ἅμ' ἤϊε κασίγνητος καὶ όπατρος:
τοῖς δ' ἅμα Πανδίων. Τεύκρου φέρε καμπύλα τόξα:
εὖτε Μενεσθῆος μεγαθύμου πύργον ΐκοντο
τείχεος ἐντὸς ἰόντες ἐπειγομένοισι δ' ΐκοντο.
οἷ δ' ἐπ' ἐπάλξεις βαῖνον ἐρεμνῇ λαίλαπι ἴ̈σοι
ἴ̈φθιμοι Λυκίων ἡγήτορες ἠδὲ μέδοντες:
σὺν δ' εβάλοντο μάχεσθαι ἐναντίον. ὦρτο δ' ἀϋτή.
So saying Telamonian Aias departed, and with him went Teucer, his own brother, begotten of one father, and with them Pandion bare the curved bow of Teucer. Now when, as they passed along within the wall, they reached the post of great-souled Menestheus—and to men hard pressed they came—the foe were mounting upon the battlements like a dark whirlwind, even the mighty leaders and rulers of the Lycians; and they clashed together in fight, and the battle-cry arose.
