ἔνθ’ οὐδ’ ἴ¨φθιμοι Λύκιοι μένον. ἂλλ' ἐφόβηθεν
πάντες. ἐπεὶ βασιλῆα ἴ¨δον βεβλαμμένον ἦτορ.
κείμενον ἐν νεκύων ἀγύρει: πολέες γὰρ. ἐπ’ αυτῷ
κάππεσον. εῦτ’ έριδα κρατερὴν ἐτάνυσσε Κρονίων:
οἱ δ’ ἂρ’ ἀπ’ ὤμοιϊν Σαρπηδόνος ἔντε’ ἕλοντο
χάλκαια μαρμαίροντα: τὰ μὲν κοίλας ἐπὶ νῆας:
δῶκε φέρειν ἑτάροισι Μενοιτίου ἄλκιμος υἱός:
Then the valiant Lycians likewise abode not, but were driven in rout one and all, when they saw their king smitten to the heart, lying in the gathering of the dead; for many had fallen above him, when the son of Cronos strained taut the cords of the fierce conflict. But from the shoulders of Sarpedon they stripped his shining harness of bronze, and this the valiant son of Menoetius gave to his comrades to bear to the hollow ships.
