ὣς φάτο καί ῥα πολὺ προμάχων ἐξάλμενος ἔστη:
οἳδ' ἐλελίχθησαν καὶ ἐναντίοι ἔσταν Ἀχαιῶν
ἔνθ' αὖτ' Αἰνείας Λειώκριτον οὔτασε δουρὶ
υἱὸν Ἀρίσβαντος Λυκομήδεος ἐσθλὸν ἑταῖρον:
τὸν δὲ πεσὸντ' ἐλέησεν ἀρηίφιλος Λυκομήδης:
στῆ δὲ μάλ' ἐγγὺς ἰὼν καὶ ἀκόντισε δουρὶ φαεινῷ:
καὶ βάλεν Ἱππασίδην Ἀπισάονα ποιμένα λαῶν.
ἧπαρ ὑπὸ πραπίδων: εἶθαρ δ' ὑπὸ γούνατ' ἔλυσεν.
ὅς ῥ' ἐκ Παιονίης ἐριβώλακος εἰληλούθει:
καὶ δὲ μετ' Ἀστεροπαῖον ἀριστεύεσκε μάχεσθαι:
So spake he, and leapt forth far to the front of the foremost fighters, and there stood. And they rallied, and took their stand with their faces toward the Achaeans. Then Aeneas wounded with a thrust of his spear Leocritus, son of Arisbas and valiant comrade of Lycomedes. And as he fell Lycomedes, dear to Ares, had pity for him, and came and stood hard by and with a cast of his bright spear smote Apisaon, son of Hippasus, shepherd of the host, in the liver, below the midriff, and straightway loosed his knees—Apisaon that was come from out of deep-soiled Paeonia, and next to Asteropaeus was preeminent above them all in fight.
