ὡς εἰπὼν. Τρώεσσιν ἐπέσσυτο δαίμονι ἶ̈σος:
καὶ τότ' Ἀπόλλωνα προσέφη ποταμὸς βαθυδίνης:
ὦ πόποι ἀργυρότοξε. Διὸς τέκος. οὐ σύ γε βουλὰς
εἰρύσαο Κρονίωνος, ὅ τοι μάλα πόλλ`' ἐπετέλλε
Τρωσὶ παρεστάμεναι καὶ ἀμύνειν. εἰς ὅ κεν ἔλθῃ
δείελος ὀψὲ δύων. σκιάσῃ δ' ἐρίβωλον ἄρουραν:
So saying he leapt upon the Trojans like a god. Then unto Apollo spake the deep-eddying River: "Out upon it, thou lord of the silver bow, child of Zeus, thou verily hast not kept the commandment of the son of Cronos, who straitly charged thee to stand by the side of the Trojans and to succour them, until the late-setting star of even shall have come forth and darkened the deep-soiled earth."
