Vorwort.

Dem freundlicheii Entgegenkommen unseres Verlegers, des Herrn H. Hirzel, ist es zu danken, dass die in meinem Buchenbsp;„Irische Texte mit Wörterbucliquot; begonnenen Publicationen iri-scber Texte fortgesetzt werden können. Zur besonderen Erendenbsp;gereicM nair, dass Whitley Stokes gewonnen worden ist, sichnbsp;an dem Unternehmen zu betheiligen. Um weitere Kreise annbsp;demselben zu interessieren, geben wir üebersetzungen bei, ohnenbsp;uns jedoch durch ein festes Programm irgendwie binden zu wollen. Die Verantwortlichkeit für seine Arbeit tragt jeder Autornbsp;fiir sich. Die einzelnen Hefte sollen einen Umfang von zehnnbsp;bis zwölf Bogen haben, und boffen wir, dass jedes Jahr einesnbsp;erscheinen kann.

Tlie Destruction of Troy.

The following two fragments of one of the Middle-Irish versions of the Destruction of Troy are taken from a ms. markednbsp;H. 2. 17, preserved in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, andnbsp;formerly in the possession of Edward Lhwyd. The manuscriptnbsp;contains 491 pages, all on vellum save pp. 1 — 82, which arenbsp;on paper, and all in Irish save pp. 1—28, which contain a Latinnbsp;tract on the Passion. It is of various dates and in variousnbsp;handwritings, and its contents are more than usually miscellaneous — the religious, gnomic, romantic, historical, genealogical,nbsp;grammatical and medical branches of Irish literature beingnbsp;exemplified. Thus, besides our Destruction of Troy (which isnbsp;preceded by three fragments of another Irish version of thenbsp;same story), we have a Nennius (p. 172), the Instructions ofnbsp;Cormac (p. 179), and Proverbs of Fithel (p. 181), Triads (p. 183),nbsp;the Dialogue of Two Sages (p. 185 and pp. 192—194), the Tainnbsp;bo Ciialnge (p. 334) and Bruden da Derga (p. 477), the Warsnbsp;of the Irish with the Danes (p. 350), a pharmacological treatisenbsp;(p. 279), grammatical tracts (pp. 195 et seq., and 486) etc., etc.

The first of the fragments now printed begins at the top of the first column of p. 127. It corresponds with Dares Phry-gius, ed. Meister, from the end of c. II to c. XI inclusive andnbsp;from c. XIV to the middle of c. XIX. But there is much matter,nbsp;e. g. the account of the labours of Hercules (pp. 127'', 128''')nbsp;for which there is no warrant in Dares. The second of thesenbsp;fragments begins with the end of Dares’ c. XX and continuesnbsp;to his chapter XLIV. But half the column corresponding withnbsp;chapters XLIII, XLIV has unfortunately been cut away. Both

1

fragments are in the same handwriting — the scribe’s name being Mael[s]echlainn. He may have lived in the fourteenthnbsp;or the early part of the fifteenth century.

Three fragments of another copy of this version are preserved in the Book of Leinster, pp. 397 — 408. The first (pp. 397—407) corresponds with Dares from the end of c. IInbsp;to the beginning of c. X; the second (p. 403 col. a, from line 1nbsp;to line 18 inclusive) with the end of Dares’ c. XVIII and the firstnbsp;half of his c. XIX; the third (p. 403, col. a, from line 19 to p. 408nbsp;inclusive) with the end of Dares’ c. XX down to the beginningnbsp;of his chapter XXXI. This copy is not older than the sixteenthnbsp;century, and is so corrupt that it is not worth while to givenbsp;all its various lections. Where its readings are better thannbsp;those of H. 2. 17, I have inserted them in the text; where theynbsp;merely deserve notice, I have given them as footnotes markednbsp;„L“. The portion of this later copy which corresponds withnbsp;Dares’ cc. XXV — XXX is printed in Togail Troi, Calcutta,nbsp;1881, pp. 52—56.

In editing the present text I have punctuated: contractions have been extended, hut the extensions are expressed by italics;nbsp;proper names have been spelt with initial capitals: infected fnbsp;and s when omitted by the scribe have been supplied in brackets:nbsp;the transported t and n have been seiiarated by a hyphen fromnbsp;words beginning with vowels: hyphens have also been employednbsp;in the case of infixed pronouns and assimilation of the n ofnbsp;the prepositions in and cow: an apostrophe has been usednbsp;where a vowel has been dropt; and, lastly, the article, possess-sive pronouns, verb substantive, prepositions, conjunctions andnbsp;negative particles have been separated from the words to which,nbsp;in the manuscript, they are respectively prefixed. In othernbsp;respects, for instance, the use of v for u, the manuscript hasnbsp;been followed as closely as possible.

The figures refer to the lines of the Irish text.

1. Jason did that by means of Medea’s magic, to wit, bringing Vulcan’s four oxen out of hell, and the other things,nbsp;ut ante dictum.

3. Now after the completion of all that work, Aeetes said to Jason: „May it not he well (to her) that taught thee — Medea,nbsp;my own daughter! She it is that hath done all thatquot;, saith he.

6. After this the golden fleece was given to Jason and to the champions of Greece.

8. So then Jason with his hosts began to leave the city and to travel to their own heritage and territory. Medea begannbsp;to sue on her true covenants, which he had entered into^nbsp;before the kings and heroes of Greece, and before the worthies of the isles of the Tyrrhene sea, to love her^ alwaysnbsp;as® his one wife. Jason said to her that he would not bringnbsp;her to his country if she brought her children with her.nbsp;Thereafter Medea did a deed, sinful, fearful, brutal, to wit,nbsp;killing her sons for the love and dearness of the beautifulnbsp;youth and so that there might be no reason for leaving hernbsp;and not bringing her with him to his country.

17. Thereafter the soldiers bid farewell to the king, and carried off the fleece, and went out of the city. Then they gonbsp;on board their vessel and rowed along the same way, untonbsp;the estuary of the river Cius, past the districts of Troy, tillnbsp;they reached the harbour of Greece. After this they brought

their vessel on land and go to have speech of the king Peleas who had set them to the embassage, and they tell their tidingsnbsp;and their adventures from beginning to end; and the fleecenbsp;was displayed unto him. Peleas gave thanks to Jason and tonbsp;Hercules and to the crew besides. He bestowed treasures andnbsp;riches on every one according to his rank, and so forth. ^

27. Mindful, now, was the hero and the war-soldier and the battle-breacher of a hundred, — the mightiest that hathnbsp;come of Adam’s seed, to wit, Hercules son of Amphitryon, —nbsp;of the disgrace and of the shame that had been brought uponnbsp;him by Laomedon, king of the Trojans, to wit, the not givingnbsp;him the hospitality of a harbour when he was sent along withnbsp;Jason to seek the golden fleece. Heavy was his heart afternbsp;this not to avenge himself on the folk that abode in thenbsp;neighbourhood of Greece, on the eastern border of Propontis,nbsp;in the east of Asia Minor, (and) that had got a little stripnbsp;of land in the western angle of Phrygia, overagainst the shorenbsp;of the Tyrrhene sea. Por of the world’s warrior-hosts therenbsp;was none that attained to equality with him. No warrior wasnbsp;there here, who would go further than he to avenge his wrongnbsp;in far-ofl, neighbouring territories.

Now here are some of his valiant deeds. ^

38. It is he, Hercules, that slew the mighty champion with the three heads, in the isle Erythria, in the estuary ofnbsp;the Tyrrhene sea, at the mere of Europe and Africa, right innbsp;the west of the world, Geryon, to wit, his name: he witherednbsp;up the tribes and the races.

42. It is he, Hercules, moreover, that built the two pillars at the Gaditanian Strait, and each of them looking at thenbsp;other, namely, the pillar of Europe looking at Africa and thenbsp;pillar of Africa looking at Europe.

45. It is he, moreover, that set his hand to the rock, if perchance he might attain to slaying Cacus son of Vulcan, who

’ Here a scribe’s note: Mailechlann (has written) that little. ^ This sentence is prefixed by L.

Literal Translation.

was biding in the middle of the rock, and he flung the rock into the river.

48. It is he that slew Busiris, who was playing the hero beside the river Nile. The latter used to offer up his guestsnbsp;to the river Nile.

50. It is he, moreover, that slew the cruel lion in the great glen^ in the south-west of the world.

52. It is he that slew the execrable, merciless snake with seven heads, that abode in the Lernean swamp, (and) thatnbsp;withered up and destroyed the north of the world as to humannbsp;beings and herds and cattle.

The Destruction of Troy.

Castor and Pollux, the two scions¹ (were) those aud the two darlings of the north of the world. He told them, then, whatnbsp;he had come for, namely, to seek an army and a host, tonbsp;avenge on Laomedon the dishonour and the disgrace that hadnbsp;been inflicted on himself and on Jason, son of Aeson, and onnbsp;the sons of the kings and princes of the whole of Greece; andnbsp;he said that the wrong to him, though on him it ... . (?), wasnbsp;not greater than to all the Greeks and to Castor and Polluxnbsp;themselves. Castor and Pollux declared that even if theynbsp;possessed the many races and many tribes of the whole ofnbsp;Greece, and even if they were masters, in the north from thenbsp;end of the strand .... in the south, in the border of Greecenbsp;aud Italy, they would fare with him to form an assembly andnbsp;a host and to avenge his wrong on every side throughout thenbsp;confines of the world. Hercules gave thanks for that declaration.

81. Thereafter he fared from them into Salamis, to Telamon the king, and he said to him: „For this“, saith he, „have I comenbsp;to thee, to relate to thee the great shame and the great disgrace and the great insult that Laomedon hath put upon thenbsp;crew of the ship Argo, and on Jason’s host, and on me myself.nbsp;Now,quot; saith he, „unless that is . . . ., the Trojans will come onnbsp;raids to plunder and make inroads on Greece. So I desirenbsp;that thou, like every one, shouldst come with me on a hostingnbsp;unto Troy.“ „Not I“, saith Telamon, „shall be the first mannbsp;who will refuse to fight and to contend for the benefit of thenbsp;land of Greece. I will go with thee, (togetlier with) thosenbsp;that I shall have of friends and of comrades. With us, more-shall go the inhabitants of Salamis, whoso shall take

spear in his hand and is fit to know how to wield weapons. W¹e shall be ready, awaiting thy message.quot;

92. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;After this he (Hercules) left a blessing with Telamon.

93. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;So then Telamon held a meeting with the men of Salamisnbsp;after him (Hercules), and determined on peace and good will

towards him. He proceeded to the prince and emperor of Moesia, to Pelias, head of the valour and pride and haughtinessnbsp;and kingliness of the men of the north of the world. This henbsp;then said to him: „I have come to thee to seek a host to farenbsp;into the Trojans’ country, for if thou goest on this hosting thounbsp;wilt arouse^ Greeks from the east of the land of Arabia tonbsp;the shore of the Aegean sea, from the north of Thrace to thenbsp;confines of Italy in the south. All will arise at thy going-forth, for thou art the chief of splendour and conspicuousnessnbsp;and the sun of the whole of Greece. Arise, then, for thenbsp;profit of the tribes^ and races of Greece! For a profit to all thenbsp;Greeks is this hosting, if one escapes from it triumphant, battle-victorious.quot; „Even ifquot;, saith Pelias, „I possessed the men ofnbsp;the earth in the south, from the land of Ethiopia in the northnbsp;unto India, and from the victory-stones of Hercules and fromnbsp;the rising of the sun, to the eastern point® of the south ofnbsp;Europe which strikes against the estuary of the Tyrrhene seanbsp;and unto the setting of the sun, I would send them all withnbsp;thee to mar and to assail the Trojans, to destroy and to burnnbsp;Laomedon’s city. However, all the host that I have shall worknbsp;with thee. So when thou hast ships and galleys ready sendnbsp;me a messenger, and my host shall be ready then for thee.quot;nbsp;Hercules then bade him farewell.

114. Then Hercules went into Pylos, to Nestor. He was king therein. He asked tidings of Hercules, for what cause henbsp;had come? Hercules replied: „To ask for an army,quot; saith he,nbsp;„that thou mayst come along with me, with all thy army, innbsp;this hosting wherein go the worthies of Greece, to wit. Castornbsp;and Pollux and Telamon and Peleus, to avenge the wrong thatnbsp;hath been done to me. If it were on you that shame andnbsp;disgrace had been inflicted, the men of the world, from the

rising of the sun to its setting, would know my power in repelling it from you.^ And even if ye had dealings and enmities in India or Scythia lor Persia, or in Arabia or in Egypt or innbsp;Ethiopia or in Spain or in the Gauls or in Germany or innbsp;Alania, I should not be slack to take vengeance for themnbsp;throughout those outer territories, besides the countries thatnbsp;are nearest to us. Then Nestor answered: „A blessing on everynbsp;one who strengthens the nobleness and the army of Greece tonbsp;contend! As to me, however, I will go along with thee whennbsp;every thing is prepared.“ So Hercules was thankful unto him.

129. Now, when Hercules knew the will and wish of the champions and the heroes, he chose right valiant soldiers ofnbsp;his own country. By him, then, were collected all the shipsnbsp;and vessels and barks that were lying in the country of Greece,nbsp;from the estuary of the Pontic sea in the north as far as thenbsp;Arabian sea in the south. He arranged his fleet on (the) sea,nbsp;and the soldiers and right valiant champions of the whole ofnbsp;Greece he chose unto him, from every point, by means ofnbsp;letters and envoys; and the kings who had promised camenbsp;unto him with thousands and hosts and armies. Now after thenbsp;armies and the hosts had come so that they were biding innbsp;one stead, the kings took counsel as to whether they shouldnbsp;go at night or by day to the port of the Trojans. They settlednbsp;on this: they went at night into the port of Sigeum.

141. Now when they had entered that port, Hercules and Telamon and Peleus, with a great battalion around them,nbsp;marched to destroy Troy. Castor and Pollux and Nestor remained with the ships. Thereafter Laomedon was told that anbsp;great host of Greeks had seized the port of Sigeum. He arosenbsp;wrathfully and fearfully, mightily and manfully, with the proud,nbsp;indignant heroes of Troy around him, and proceeded towardsnbsp;the sea. When they were near to the ships they raised banners (?)nbsp;of battle over their heads in opposition to the savage, terriblenbsp;wild beast, around whom had gathered the savage soldiery of

the north of the world. The Trojans began to fight for their country and their fatherland and their city. So when mattersnbsp;stood thus, Hercules marched to the city. Now they passednbsp;by each other, to wit, the road which the Trojans took to thenbsp;ships was not the same as that which Hercules with his hostnbsp;took to Troy. As to Hercules, he reached Troy and foundnbsp;Troy open, without any one protecting or keeping it. So he setnbsp;it under a mist and a fringe of fire, and slew all that was fitnbsp;for slaughter therein, and he gathered the gold and silver,nbsp;jewels and treasures and goods of the city. No one escapednbsp;out of the city but he who fled from point of spear and fromnbsp;mouth of sword.

160. So when they told Laomedon of the onfall on the city, he turned back to the city, and met Hercules, front tonbsp;front, in the middle of the way. Then indeed did Herculesnbsp;cast off weariness from his mind, and fulfilled his desire tonbsp;pour forth the Trojans’ blood, and he broke a battle-breachnbsp;through might of men, on the choice of the worthies of thenbsp;Trojans around their king: in such wise that Laomedon thenbsp;king of the Trojans was slain there with his three sons andnbsp;with his kings and soldiers. Thereafter Hercules went, withnbsp;great victory, to his ships, unto Castor and Pollux and Nestor.nbsp;Now after the hosts came together they divided the bootynbsp;among them. Unto Telamon came Hesione, Laomedon’s daughternbsp;because of the champions of valour of Greece he was the firstnbsp;hero who entered the city. So when all that came to a endnbsp;each leader of them went to his land with victory and triumph.

173. Gloomy, uneasy, troubled was Priam son of Laomedon, crownprince of the Trojans and of Little Asia, at the great agony that had befallen him, namely, the burning of Troy andnbsp;its ruin, its jewels and treasures and goods and booty carriednbsp;away by Greeks, his own sister borne into bondage and givennbsp;to Telamon in guerdon of his valour. Sorer than every griefnbsp;he deemed his father’s fall and the slaughter of the Trojansnbsp;made in the battle and in the city. Disgrace and great shamenbsp;he deemed the triumphing of the Greeks over the Trojans and

that Phrygia should suffer^ mockery and honour-scathe. Sure he was that, unless the vengeance should come speedily, itnbsp;would never come. ^ This is, what ho desired, to renew thenbsp;walls and to make the city secure, and to array armies andnbsp;peoples. Thereafter he went to consider that to the city ofnbsp;his fatherland, with his wife, namely Hecuba, with his sons,nbsp;namely 1) Hector, 2) Alexander, 3) Doiphobus, 4) Helenus,nbsp;5) Troilus; and Andromeda wife of Hector son of Priam, andnbsp;Priam’s two daughters, namely Cassandra and Polyxena. Manynbsp;sons had Priam, besides these five of Hecuba’s — sons of harlots and concubines. A hundred sons altogether were, it isnbsp;declared, borne to him, and none of them are reckoned in thenbsp;royal seed besides those five of Hecuba and other sons whonbsp;were born of lawful wives and of unions just and legal. Thenbsp;sons, however, that were begotten in illegality and in adulterynbsp;are not reckoned in the royal race. So after Priam had reachednbsp;Troy great strong walls were built by him round Troy, so thatnbsp;they were vaster greatly than the first walls. Casemates (?)nbsp;and mighty bastions were built around it first of all (?). Hostsnbsp;and mighty multitudes of those that had been scattered throughout Phrygia and Little Asia were gathered together that henbsp;might have soldiers strong (and) active to keep and to fightnbsp;on behalf of the city. That he did in order that foemen mightnbsp;not come upon him into his city without (his) knowledge andnbsp;without protection by the valiant soldiery, even as they hadnbsp;come upon his father Laomedon. A wonderful royal pavilionnbsp;was erected by him amidst the city. Moreover, a fair, adornednbsp;dwelling, and a mound were built by him on the acropolis andnbsp;the stronghold of the city, for . . . and for outlooking, and fornbsp;hurling at foes over it outside. ‘Priam’s ard, that is, fortress,nbsp;was its name. An altar was consecrated by him to Jove innbsp;that royal pavilion, overagainst himself; The gates of the citynbsp;were carefully adorned by him. These are the names of the

gates: 1) Antenora, 2) Ilia, 3) Dardania, 4) Ebusea, 5) Thym-braca, 6) Trojana.

. 211. Now when Priam beheld Troy founded, and trusted the city’s strength and firmness, and when he perceived hostsnbsp;and multitudes ready by him, he felt ^ a longing to fight againstnbsp;the Greeks. Sad he deemed it then that the crowd of valiantnbsp;heroes and the abundance of warlike soldiers should not benbsp;employed in avenging his father and his city. Because thosenbsp;warriors surpassed the warrior-hosts of all the world, bothnbsp;in swiftness and leaping, both in swimming and hurlingnbsp;and feat-performance, both in managing horse and chariot,nbsp;both in plying spear and sword and in playing chess andnbsp;draughts. They excelled, moreover, both in form and shapenbsp;and raiment and splendour and dexterity. Idle it seemed tonbsp;him, then, when his host was increasing in his city, not tonbsp;employ them to advantage. He was awaiting what time henbsp;should go to avenge his woe, ^ wherefore to him was summurednbsp;Antenor, a leader and distinguished spokesman of the Trojans,nbsp;in order to send him on an embassy into the lands of thenbsp;Greeks, to have speech of the leaders who had come to himnbsp;(Priam) with Hercules, to wreck Troy, (and) to complain to themnbsp;of the great injury which they had wrought upon Priam, tonbsp;wit, slaying his father, burning his city, bearing his sister intonbsp;bondage, stealing his gold and his silver, attacking his city,nbsp;(and) without compensation, without making good to him anynbsp;one of these. Sorer than any thing to him seemed it, not tonbsp;deliver his sister out of bondage; for if his sister were givennbsp;to him out of the bondage they would make peace and order.

232. So Antenor fared forth on the embassage, as was enjoined on him: a single ship’s crew w'as their number. Firstnbsp;of all Antenor went into Moesia to Peleus. Three days andnbsp;throe nights was he a-giiesting therein. But on the fourth daynbsp;Peleus asked tidings of him, to know what his race was andnbsp;who had sent him on an embassy. Antenor answered: „I have

come on an embassy“, saith he, „from Priam son. of Laomedon, from the king of the Trojans. Of the Trojans is my race.nbsp;To declare and to set forth the vast vexation that Priam suffersnbsp;from the dishonour and from the disgrace that the Greeks havenbsp;put upon him, to wit, slaying his father, and burning his citynbsp;(and) enslaving his sister, without making (any) compensationnbsp;to him. Yet he would forgive every one of all those things if hisnbsp;sister Hesione were delivered to him out of hondage.“ As soon asnbsp;Peleus heard that, anger and grief at that answer possessednbsp;him, and he said: „It is audacity and it is great rashness fornbsp;Trojans to come unto Greeks without the guarantee, withoutnbsp;the safeguard of the country, because much of evil have theynbsp;done to the Greeks.quot; So Peleus told Antenor to go forth outnbsp;of the country and out of the haven. So Antenor went tonbsp;his vessel, according to the king’s commands. They set theirnbsp;vessel on sea, and fared onwards, past Boeotia, to Salamis.nbsp;When he came to Telamon, king of Salamis, he set forth hisnbsp;embassy to him, namely, to ask for Hesione of him particularlynbsp;— for unto him she had bedh given in guerdon of his valournbsp;and war-service — and Antenor said that it was not meet fornbsp;a daughter of the royal race to abide in bondage and thraldom like a slavegirl. Then Telamon answered and said thatnbsp;he had done no evil to Priam, that it was not he that hadnbsp;caused the expedition to fare forth, and he declared that henbsp;would not give to any one the payment that had heen bestowednbsp;on him in guerdon of his valour. He declared to him thennbsp;(that he should go) out of the country.

259. After that declaration, Antenor went on board his vessel, and came to Achaia, to Castor and to Pollux. He toldnbsp;them what he had come for, and said that peace and friendship with the Trojans and Priam were better than being atnbsp;variance with them. If Hesione were given back to him itnbsp;would be a cause of that peace and friendship. They repliednbsp;that they had not given occasion of dissension or disunion to thenbsp;Trojans, for they had not heen present at the sacking nor atnbsp;the burning of the city, nor at carrying away the plunder

thereof. They said, moreover, that it was not they that had Hesione, and if they had her that they would not restore hernbsp;to Priam. They said, moreover, to him that he should abidenbsp;no longer in the country, for they supposed that he had comenbsp;from the Trojans to beguile the Greeks. So then Antenornbsp;went forth to his vessel, with great grief and with heaviness.nbsp;He declared to his people the disgrace and the great shamenbsp;that had been inflicted upon him by Castor and by Pollux.

272. Thereafter he fared into Pylos, to Nestor, so that he might not err by omitting to go to any of the leaders ofnbsp;the hosting. Nestor asked tidings of him, what was the reasonnbsp;he had come? Antenor declared, „to ask for Hesione, daughternbsp;of Laomedon“, saith he. When Nestor heard that, wroth andnbsp;bitterness against Antenor seized him, and he declared that itnbsp;was audacity and great shamelessness for Trojans to come untonbsp;Greeks, for that Trojans had done evil to Greeks rather thannbsp;Greeks to Trojans. Mournful was Antenor at the mockerynbsp;that was made of^ Priam and of himself and of all Trojans.

281. So when he embarked on board his vessel, he rowed straightway to Troy. After reaching the city he tells hisnbsp;tidings and his goings, from beginning to end, unto Priam.nbsp;„It is as nothing, now, is to he measured by thee every evilnbsp;that the Greeks have done to thee up to this time, as compared with the shame and the disgrace and the dishonour thatnbsp;on this occasion they have inflicted on thyself and on all thenbsp;Trojans. Unless, now, thou repellest from thee that shamenbsp;thy wealth will not abide till doomsday — unless thou up-liftest thy valour ever the valours of every one, so that thenbsp;world’s men may know of the vengeance which thou wilt takenbsp;on the Greeks who have done evil to thee. Every one whonbsp;shall raise on high the use of valour in the countries of thenbsp;Greeks will think that there is no leader over you who practises valour and (wins) splendour and renown, unless a full-mightynbsp;soldiery shall arise to battle and prey upon Greece, and causenbsp;in Greece lamentation on every side.quot;

That is Alltenor’s embassy.

295. So all his sons were summoned to Priam, and all his leaders, and all his kings and his soldiers. Moreover thennbsp;An tenor was called to him, and Anchises and Aeneas andnbsp;Ucalegon and Panthous and Lampades. So when all the leadersnbsp;had come to the assembly, Priam uttered a speech of admonition to them after they arrived. „I sent“, saith Priam,nbsp;„Antcnor from me on an embassy into the lands of the Greeks,nbsp;to bid my boon (?) from the Greeks after they had tormentednbsp;me. I sent (him) for this especially, to know whether my sisternbsp;would be delivered to me out of the bondage. Not only, however, was she not delivered out of her bondage, but they madenbsp;a mockery of me myself and of all the Trojans. This, then,nbsp;is what I desire — hosts and armies to march into Greece tonbsp;seek Hesione perforce since she cannot be got by consent ornbsp;for friendship (Or may be they might be thankful to cast hernbsp;from them in exchange for the booty that would be carriednbsp;out of Greece), so that the troops of the Trojans may no longernbsp;be mocked by the Greeks.“ Then Priam urgently besought hisnbsp;sons, and encouraged them to be chieftains in collecting everything, ill completing ^ (?) the preparation of a host and an army.nbsp;Though much he encouraged every one, much more he encouraged Hector. Him answered Hector — he is the man whonbsp;(always) spoke first in the meeting and in the assembly of thenbsp;Trojans — and said. „1“, saith he, „am (that) one of thenbsp;Trojans who would be most faine to avenge my graudsire andnbsp;to do what Priam wishes, even though I should fall thereby.nbsp;Howbeit I dread that deed begun, unless ye carry it to thenbsp;end, and unless it is completed and brought into port; andnbsp;the greater is your shame if ye begin and do not complete it.nbsp;Because the Greeks are more numerous than ye are: multitudinous are their hosts and their peoples and their armies fromnbsp;every side throughout the whole of Europe. And even thoughnbsp;it were only a single folk or a single tribe of Greeks, ye have

neither number nor valour to abide them, besides the mighty multitudes of the whole of Greece. For if the Greeks sonbsp;desire, Europe’s men will arise with them from the sea ofnbsp;Silarus (?) in the south of Italy to the north of the countrynbsp;of the ... in the outer fringe of Europe, which strikes againstnbsp;the great ocean in the north. If they, the Greeks, desire,nbsp;there will go to them (and) will rise with them the men ofnbsp;the isles of the Tyrrhene sea, from the point of Pithir (Pe-lorus?) in Sicily to Pacén (Pachynus?) and to Posfoir (Bosporus?)nbsp;to the estuary of the Pontic sea. I desire not, then, to challenge that people, because, of the world’s warriors, there arenbsp;none whose valour is equal to theirs. For they live only innbsp;battles and in conflicts and in fights, every tribe slaying andnbsp;raiding on the other, so that they are the more dexterous innbsp;plying spear and shield and sword. Not so the folk of Littlenbsp;Asia. They have not taught themselves (?) to bide in battlesnbsp;or in fights, but in peace and good-will and quiet continually.nbsp;Ye have not an army like that, wherefore I have no desire tonbsp;challenge those heroes, to whom of the world’s heroes, therenbsp;is no equal. I will not, however, forbid you (to fight) lest yenbsp;say I am incapable of it. So far as concerns me, ye shall notnbsp;be opposed.^

339. Howbeit Alexander was encouraging warfare against the folk of Greece, and said: Let me be leader of this hosting,nbsp;for ye shall find that I shall do Priam’s will and bring victorynbsp;and triumph out of Greece beyond every one. I will rout mynbsp;foes: I will bring (home) jewels and treasures: I myself willnbsp;come safe back to my house. Hence it is that I think so;nbsp;because I was once a-hunting in Mount Ida. I saw (coming)nbsp;towards me Mercury son of Jove, and three exceeding fairnbsp;women behind him, namely, Juno and Venus and Minerva.nbsp;They tell their tales at once. „There hath been made“, saynbsp;they, „a mighty (marriage-) feast, for all the goddesses andnbsp;gods, by Peleus son of Aeacus; and to that wedding were in-

vited all the deities, both male and female, with Jove son of Saturn, with Apollo son of Jove, with Dardanus son of Jove,nbsp;with Mercury son of Jove, with Neptune, with Venus, withnbsp;Minerva, with Juno. Howheit Discordia, was not brought therenbsp;at all. Now when there was great glee in the drinking-house,nbsp;Discordia went to the garden of the Hesperides, and broughtnbsp;thence an apple of gold, and wrote thereon an inscription, tonbsp;wit, hoc est donum pulcerrimae deae, and flung it from hernbsp;over the window of the house in presence of them all. Thereatnbsp;the hosts marvelled, and what was on the apple was read outnbsp;before them. Now from that tale there groweth a great contest between the three goddesses who were the loveliest in thenbsp;world, to wit, Juno and Minerva and Venus. It seemed tonbsp;Juno that there was no contending against her, for she wasnbsp;daughter of a king, namely Saturn, she was the sister and thenbsp;wife of another king, namely Jove son of Saturn. Comely, then,nbsp;was that woman, both as to hair and eye and tooth, both asnbsp;to size and fitness and evenness; hair on her, thin below, . . .nbsp;Two black, dark eyebrows had she, which used to cast a shadownbsp;on each of her two cheeks. She did not think that any womannbsp;of the world’s women could surpass her in beauty. As tonbsp;Minerva, then, she did not think that anyone could equal her,nbsp;for the excellence of her form and her shape and her racenbsp;and her science; for every science that is practised in the world,nbsp;by her it hath been discovered. Then Venus raised on highnbsp;her form and her shape and her delightfulness; because fromnbsp;her is every wooing and every love-intrigue that is found innbsp;the world. For there was not in the world a woman resemblingnbsp;her, so that all that time men’s eyes were unable to behold hernbsp;because of her beauty and her . . . pleasantness. Then theynbsp;went for arbitration unto Jove. „I will not“, saith he, „delivernbsp;a judgment to you: but go to Alexander son of Priam, who isnbsp;on Mount Ida — and Mercury shall go before you — so thatnbsp;he may deliver judgment to you.“ Then the four of them,nbsp;namely Venus and Juno and Minerva, and Mercury beforenbsp;them, came unto me,“ saith Alexander, that I might deliver judg-

ment unto them, after each of the goddesses had promised a guerdon to me. ^ Juno then offers the realm of great Asia ifnbsp;I would distinguish her from the other goddesses.^ Minerva,nbsp;however, offers the knowledge of everything which man’s twonbsp;hands perform. Venus offers me the fairest wife who shouldnbsp;bide in Greece, if she should he distinguished from the othernbsp;goddess. Now this was my judgment, that Venus was thenbsp;comeliest there. So Venus will bestow on me, as she promised,nbsp;the most beautiful wife that abides in Greece.quot;

385. Then said Deiphohus: „Good counsel doth Alexander give, that troops and armies should go into Greece to bringnbsp;thereout booty and reprisal, so that the Greeks may be thankful to make an exchange.quot;

388. Thereafter, then, Helenas prophecied unto them a prophecy, and said „B’oes will come to the Trojans: they willnbsp;overturn Troy: they will slay the men of Asia, if Alexandernbsp;bring a wife out of Greece.quot;

391. At the uttering of that declaration, Troilus spake against it® — the youngest of Priam’s sons was that Troilusnbsp;as regards age, mightier, however, than Hector in manslayingnbsp;and splendour and exceeding strength. He almost became madnbsp;with encouraging the fighting. „Let Helenus’ false prophecy,quot;nbsp;saith he, „in no wise prevent you.quot; To go into Greece wasnbsp;with them the voice of a hundred out of the mouth of one.

397. Now when Priam knew everyone’s wish and desire, and when he perceived that they were all fain to go on thenbsp;hosting, henbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;sent Alexander and Deiphobusnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;intonbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Paeonianbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to

choose and nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to collect soldiers, mercenariesnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;andnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;warriorsnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to

He instructed hisnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;sonsnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;in thatnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;assembly thatnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;unto each junior of them his senior should be lord.

After this he related to the people every insult which the

Greeks had inflicted upon them, the Trojans. „Wherefore“, saith Priam, „I desire to send Alexander with a host intonbsp;Greece, to avenge some of the great evils which they have donenbsp;unto us. But indeed, why should not Antenor tell tidings tonbsp;you, „for he it- is that fared into Greece on an embassy.''nbsp;„Truly,quot; saith Antenor, „I am acquainted with Greece. I beheldnbsp;her heroes and her warriors, and there is no need for you^nbsp;to fear them, since your champions and your men-at-arms andnbsp;your soldiers are more splendid and more dexterous than thenbsp;soldiers of the Greeks.quot; „Question, then,quot; saith Priam, „is therenbsp;one of you who would be unwilling to fare on this hosting?quot;nbsp;Then answered Panthous, son of Euphorbus, a leading mannbsp;of the Trojans and a wonderfully good counsellor, and said innbsp;a low voice: „My father,quot; saith he, „declared to me that anbsp;man named Alexander would be, when he brought a wife outnbsp;of Greece, the completion and end of Troy. Because they willnbsp;come after him with a fierce, fearful host (and) the Trojansnbsp;will be put under mouth of spear and sword. So that it isnbsp;the better to bide in peace and in good-will, as is now thenbsp;case, than to challenge an army and a host that would attack^nbsp;Troy and destroy it.quot; Now when the people heard the opinionnbsp;of Panthous they uttered a cry and mockery and ridicule concerning him. And they said that what Priam should wish theynbsp;would do for him. Then said Priam to them, „I desire indeed,quot;nbsp;saith he, „to prepare the vessels and to gather a host to gonbsp;into Greece. For if ye act on your king’s counsel neither goodnbsp;nor dignity shall be wanting to you.quot; Priam then gave thanksnbsp;to them all, and left them free to fare forth out of the assembly® and to go home. Hector was sent into northernnbsp;Phrygia to seek a host and army.

¦wMch her father desired, she began to prophecy what would happen there in future, and she said: „Much evil will there benbsp;from that news! The heroes and warriors, kings and prince,nbsp;chieftains and nobles of Asia will fall in consequence of thatnbsp;resolve.^

435. Then came the time for going to sea, and the building of the vessels ended. Soldiers and hosts came from Poeonia in the company of Alexander and Deiphobus. Hectornbsp;son of Priam came with hosts and multitudes out of northernnbsp;Phrygia. Then came the time of scanning the sea. And Priamnbsp;entreated Alexander to rule^ shrewdly the host that was sentnbsp;along with him. Moreover other leaders were sent in hisnbsp;company, namely, Deiphobus and Aeneas and Polydamas. Thennbsp;Priam announced to Alexander that he should fare forth onnbsp;an embassy to make peace and good-will between Greeks andnbsp;Trojans.

445. So when all these things came to an end, Alexander went with his fleet along the Tyrrhene sea, and Antenor beforenbsp;them, giving them guidance.^ Now it was not long before thatnbsp;time when Alexander fared to the country of the Greeks, andnbsp;before proceeding to the neighbourhood of Cythera, that Mene-laus sou of Atreus, a chief leader of the Greeks, was going tonbsp;the island of Pylos, to converse with Nestor, and met Alexander son of Priam face to face. Great marvel had Menelaus tonbsp;see the royal host a-rowing. Strange to him was the abundance of the vessels and the great number of the fleet. Henbsp;was sure that they were accompanying a king’s son or a crown-prince. So he did not venture to accost them; but each ofnbsp;them went past the other.

450. That was the season and time at which Castor and Pollux, with a host around them, came till they were bidingnbsp;in the neighbourhood of Framia (?), and on that occasion theynbsp;took with them, to their own country, Laomedon’s daughternbsp;Hesione.

459. In the same clay, there was a great festival in the island of Cythera, namely, a festival of Juno. Now whennbsp;Alexander drew nigh unto the port of Cythera (that Cythera,nbsp;a great island is it, with a temple of Juno therein), then didnbsp;fear seize the dwellers of the island at the vast fleet, and theynbsp;asked who was in the fleet, and whence they came, and whynbsp;they had come? Then Alexander answered them: „Priam, kingnbsp;of the Trojans, hath sent on an embassy, his son, namelynbsp;Alexander, to go into the countries of the Greeks, to visitnbsp;Castor and Pollux.“

468. So when Helena, Leda’s daughter, own sister of Castor and Pollux, and wife of Menelaus son of Atreus, heard ofnbsp;Alexandei-’s arrival in the port, she came out of the middle ofnbsp;the island, till she was biding on the edge of the strand nighnbsp;to the port wherein lay Alexander. Because her mind went forthnbsp;towards him, and she desired for her(self) the valiant hoy, thenbsp;light and beauty and darling of the whole of Asia, with thenbsp;gift of shape and form and joyance of the men of earth: thenbsp;point of battle and splendour and manslaying of the north ofnbsp;the world, from his splendour and his eminence; (him) that hadnbsp;no room in Asia, on the east of the Tyrrhene sea, so that he wentnbsp;westward into Greece and carried off victory and triumph innbsp;every game in the assembly of Greece; and no warrior nor lordnbsp;nor crownprince of the folk of Greece could equal him, sonbsp;that his fame and eminence spread throughout the whole ofnbsp;Europe in such wise that the ladies of the Athenians lovednbsp;him for those reasons. Wherefore the queen Helena came tonbsp;the strand that she might see with her own eyes^ him whomnbsp;she had heard of with ears. In that island stood a templenbsp;and idol-house of Diana and Apollo, and therein did Helenanbsp;make her offerings to the idols at will, as was the custom ofnbsp;the heathen on the festivals of their gods and their images.nbsp;Thereafter Alexander was told that Helen had come to thenbsp;port. When he heard that, he went vehemently to behold

her form. So when he beheld her, he loved her much, for of the world’s women there was not a woman who resembled hernbsp;as to shape and make, save only Priam’s daughter Polyxena.nbsp;He found not her equal in dignity and in conspicuousness andnbsp;in loveliness; wherefore Alexander son of the king of Troynbsp;loved her, so that every joint and every limb in him was fullnbsp;of passion for her. Then Alexander came in front of the lady,nbsp;to shew forth his form and habit, his garment and vesture,nbsp;because it was an embroidered (?) vesture that he wore,^ withnbsp;its adornment of ridged red gold, with its array of precious stonesnbsp;around him on the outside, and against his skin a noticeablenbsp;tunic of the silken cloth, with its separate fringes of refinednbsp;gold. Stately and proud was the kind of pace with which henbsp;came ^ to behold the women. When either saw the other of them,nbsp;they remained a long time, each of them a-gazing at the other.nbsp;Such was the greatness wherewith they each loved the othernbsp;that they had no desire to separate till death. Then Alexander enjoined on his people to be prepared and to be ready tonbsp;loose their vessels when night should have come. So when thenbsp;night fell, Alexander with his people went to attack the idol-house and they lay hand over it. They took Helen with hernbsp;ladies with them to their vessels. Helen, truly, was fain ofnbsp;that. Now when ho had finished the raid on the idolhouse,nbsp;and the outraging of Venus and Apollo, and the bearing awaynbsp;of Helen in elopement, the folk of the city heard of that.nbsp;They come from every point. They deliver a strong assault on®nbsp;Alexander, in order that their queen might not be taken fromnbsp;them, in such wise that men were slain ^ contending with them.nbsp;Thereafter that was told to the crew of Trojans who werenbsp;biding in the vessels. These came out of their vessels starknbsp;naked, and they took their arms on them, and they made annbsp;onfall on that stead and seized all that was therein of bootynbsp;and of wealth. Then they embarked in their vessels and ran

round to the port of Tenedos. When they came to that port Alexander began to soothe Helena, for she had fallen into gloomnbsp;and into great grief because of parting from her land andnbsp;from her country and from her own people. Then Alexandernbsp;sent envoys to Priam to tell him tidings of what had comenbsp;to pass there. Now when it was announced to Menelaus, whonbsp;was hiding in the island of Pylos, that his wife had beennbsp;carried off in booty by Alexander, and that the island (ofnbsp;Cythera) had been wrecked, he went at once to Sparta i, andnbsp;his brother Agamemnon was summoned to him, and he told himnbsp;of Helen, namely, that she had been carried off by Alexander,nbsp;son of the king of the Trojans, in elopement and in flight.

524. For the present, he, Alexander, went with his wife and with the great booty he had taken, to Troy unto Priam, andnbsp;he told his tidings in order, from the hour he went on (his)nbsp;way to the hour that he came back. So gladness and greatnbsp;joy took Priam, at the tale which Alexander made; for itnbsp;seemed to him that the Greeks would be thankful to exchangenbsp;and barter the booty and the women, namely Hesione fornbsp;Helen. It happened that that was not so.

531. Now when Priam beheld grief and gloom and weariness (?) on Helen’s countenance, ho was consoling her and encouraging her and promising her that (every thing) should be according to her will, and that it would not he worse for hernbsp;to abide in Troy than to abide in Lacedaemon wherein she hadnbsp;been before.

535. Howheit, as Cassandra Priam’s daughter beheld this Helen, she began to prophesy and foretell all that would be thereafter the slaying of the host, and the cutting off of the leaders,nbsp;the fall of the kings, the destruction of the princes, the beheading of the battle-soldiers, the overthrowing of the champions, the plague-fall (?) of the old men, the destruction andnbsp;burning of the city, the devastation of the land and the country

and the territory. „Verilyshe saith, „heroes and warriors and battle-soldiers will he lying under hounds and ravens.nbsp;The fields will be full of the bones of the heroes, of theirnbsp;heads, of their haunches, of their forks, in such wise that itnbsp;is doubtful that any one will be able to pass over the plainsnbsp;of Troy from the abundance of the heaps of bones in everynbsp;plain. Because of thee, 0 virgin,^ saith Cassandra, „men ofnbsp;Europe and Asia shall fall.“

546. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;That is the prophecy of Cassandra to the Trojans.

547. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;So from that tale there came to Priam anger withnbsp;Cassandra, and a palm was put against her mouth.

549. Now when Agamemnon came to Sparta he was consoling and encouraging his brother. „Let not weariness or grief bide on thee,“ saith he, „for thy honour-price will benbsp;exacted, 1 and thou shalt not be in disgrace. For the mighty mennbsp;of the whole of Europe will arise to avenge thy sorrow,^ andnbsp;they will avenge it even as if it had been caused to eachnbsp;one of themselves.quot; This then was settled by them, to sendnbsp;throughout the whole of Greece to muster the hosting of Greece,nbsp;to proclaim war on the Trojans. This was announced by them,nbsp;first, to Achilles and Patroclus, the two,kings of the Myrmidons, and to Neoptolemus king of the island of Rhodes, andnbsp;to Diomede king of the island of Argos. When they camenbsp;unto Agamemnon and were biding in Sparta, their six“ captainsnbsp;made a confederacy and an alliance and a bond (?) of leaguenbsp;and union, and they declared that they would do no othernbsp;business before going with hosts and armies to avenge on thenbsp;Trojans the great dishonour which they had brought on thenbsp;Greeks. Then they ordained Agamemnon as emperor and overking above them all. They afterwards sent messengers to thenbsp;Greeks, to collect and muster the whole of Greece from the easternnbsp;extremity of the Alps in the south unto the confine of Thrace

and Alania in the north, from the east of the land of the Macedonians in the west to the shore of the Aegean sea innbsp;«the east, in order that they might have frequent meetings andnbsp;assemblies and congregations in every district, that they mightnbsp;have boats and barques and vessels ready, and that they mightnbsp;be in their armies and in their battalions in the harbour ofnbsp;Athens and then fare forth on one track to Troy, to takenbsp;vengeance for the outrage upon them.

572. Now Castor and Pollux, after hearing that their sister was carried off in elopement and flight by Trojans, wentnbsp;in their vessel to sea to voyage after their sister. They thennbsp;coasted by the Lesbian strand, till a storm forced them towardsnbsp;land, and they put their vessel on shore. Then Castor andnbsp;Pollux passed away, and no one knows how they fared afternbsp;that. But the gentiles say that they were turned into twonbsp;stars, and that Gemini are their names in heaven. Apparently,nbsp;however, they were drowned a drowning in the storm. Howheit,nbsp;the Lesbians were a-seeking them in boats and in vessels, andnbsp;searched minutely from the estuary of their land as far asnbsp;Troy, and they found not. Even though the Greeks had lostnbsp;from that expedition only those two champions and those twonbsp;points of battle, great were the loss unto them.

584. Now when this news had spread throughout Greece, namely, that Helen was carried off in elopement, there was anbsp;great commotion throughout the whole of Europe from thenbsp;lands of the Maeotioi to the estuary of the river Rhine. Thatnbsp;news boiled up in the whole of Greece, forasmuch as everynbsp;tribe and every race therein felt the disgrace as if it had beennbsp;done to themselves. So there were frequent assemblies innbsp;every tribe, and everyone’s messages (?) went to the othernbsp;to know when it would he fitting for them to wend on theirnbsp;way; and the implements of the way were gotten ready fornbsp;them, both vessels and sails and ropes, both food and raimentnbsp;and cattle (?). The Thessalians harnessed their steeds andnbsp;their studs to bring them to the border of the sea. Thenbsp;hauberks and helmets of the Myrmidons were cleansed from

their rust and dirt. Their spears were armed so that they might be keen for the spoiling of foes and foreigners. Theirnbsp;swords were made sharppointed and their shields were adjusted (?) before wending on the way. The garments and weedsnbsp;and clothes of the Athenians were made ready. Now there wasnbsp;one cry throughout the whole of Greece because they dividednbsp;themselves. Some of them in woods a-felling the timber, so thatnbsp;no one heard another’s voice by reason of the abundance of thenbsp;wrights and the serving-men a-cutting and hewing and chippingnbsp;the trees. Another party of them in forges making arms andnbsp;things of iron, namely, making swords and hauberks and shields,nbsp;pointing and shaping^ their weapons. There was no one, now,nbsp;in the whole of Greece without a work in that kind. Theynbsp;were full of leaguers and encampments from the eastern bordernbsp;of Rhaetia in the south-east to the west of the land of Thracenbsp;on Propontis in the north-east. The Athenians were bidingnbsp;there in a leaguer. The Peloponnesians (?) and Mycenaeans andnbsp;Lacedaemonians were biding in one stead. Argives and Danainbsp;and Pelasgi were (there also). Folk of Thrace and Arcadianbsp;and Thessalia and Achaia and Boeotia were there. The Macedonians and the Myrmidons and the lonians wore there. Therenbsp;were the Galatians and the . . . and the Aeolians. The gathering of Greece was nothing to the muster that was in thenbsp;islands of the Tyrrhene sea. Hardly (?) was an equal numbernbsp;left^ ill them from the waves of the Adriatic sea to thenbsp;Maeotic marshes.

And it is related that hosts and multitudes came even out of' the border-lands that are in the neighbourhood of the Greeksnbsp;south and north and west. Then came the terrible bands ofnbsp;the Etruscans, who are in the north of Italy, whose valournbsp;excels the world’s children. Now when the people of Dalmatianbsp;and Dardania and Istria and Pannonia and Rhaetia came,nbsp;there also came the valiant people who dwell in the northernnbsp;fringe of the world, to the north of the river Ister, namely thenbsp;champions of Dacia and Alania.

635. Now there was a gathering of a mighty host to the harbour of the Athenians. Many troops and companies camenbsp;there. Many of the kings and the captains and the lords andnbsp;the mighty men and the champions of valour of Greece camenbsp;there. Many bands and hundreds and thousands came there.nbsp;It is hard to say^ that the whole of Europe did not arisenbsp;there, with its hosts, with its kings, with its tribes, with itsnbsp;races. If any one should behold the Tyrrhene sea, how it wasnbsp;specked with ships and vessels and galleys, pleasant were hisnbsp;view! To the folk who wore biding on the hills and shoresnbsp;of the Athenians, it was enough of the earth’s delights tonbsp;observe the fleets and the hosts and the troops of sea and ofnbsp;land, to wit, seeing every crownprince and every king and everynbsp;captain, in his royal march, seeing every soldier and everynbsp;champion under arms, and espying the side from the sea: thenbsp;oars at the rowing and the many-coloured sails of every land,nbsp;because there had been collected all that there was of shipsnbsp;and vessels in the territory of the whole of Europe and innbsp;the isles of the Tyrrhene sea. So that ranks of them werenbsp;made by the edge of the strand of the Athenians, to carrynbsp;the mighty host of the whole of Europe towards Troy.

Now, the number of Overkings of the Greeks, that are here enumerated is forty-nine kings in all.

684. Thereafter, then, all came to the harbour of the Athenians, and all his captains were summoned to Agamemnonnbsp;to counsel him as to what they should do. So when thenbsp;captains had all come into one place, Agamemnon declared tonbsp;them that some of them should go to Apollo, to inquire ofnbsp;him how the hosting would turn out, whether it would henbsp;prosperous, or whether it would be passable at all. Every onenbsp;praised that counsel, and Achilles and Patroclus fared forth tonbsp;that end. So when they had come as far as Delphi, Apollo’snbsp;temple, they asked tidings of the image. Apollo replied tonbsp;them that the expedition would turn out well, ^ for they wouldnbsp;return to their home battle-victoriously at the end of ton yearsnbsp;after marching on Troy. Achilles offered great offerings tonbsp;Apollo in that stronghold. Now, when Achilles was makingnbsp;the offerings in the temple, then came Calchas, sou of Thestor,nbsp;with gifts and offerings from the Trojans to Apollo. He enterednbsp;the temple and asked tidings about the Trojans urgently, whatnbsp;kind of end they would have of their warfare and contentionnbsp;against the Greeks. Apollo answered that Troy would benbsp;overturned at the end of ten years. When Calchas heard that,nbsp;he came to Achilles and made his union and friendship withnbsp;him, and they (both) went to the camp of the Greeks. Theynbsp;related their tidings and their adventures. Now when all thesenbsp;things had ended, Calchas told his people to put their shipsnbsp;on sea and on ocean. The hosts did that for him. Ascalaphusnbsp;and Menelaus were put before them that they might bo guidesnbsp;to them straightway towards Troy, for they had been previouslynbsp;in Jason’s vessel.

708. First they fared to a certain island, which was under Priam’s yoke. They wreck that island. Thereafter, then, theynbsp;came to the island Tenedos, a place wherein were the treasuresnbsp;and jewels, gold and silver of Priam and of the Trojans. All

the human heings whom they found there the Greeks put under mouth of spear and of sword. All the treasures and jewelsnbsp;which they found they gather together. Thereafter, then, camenbsp;the kings of the Greeks into one place, to Agamemnon, to takenbsp;counsel as to what they should do.

715. This is the counsel they came to, ^ that envoys should fare from them on an errand to Priam, to demand Helen andnbsp;the booty which Alexander had taken out of the island Cythera.nbsp;The messengers, namely Diomede and Ulysses, came to Priamnbsp;and declare their message to him diligently.

719. Now while they were about these matters, Achilles and Tolephus (a son of Hercules) were sent to harry Mysia.nbsp;Therein was Teuthras king. When they came to Mysia theynbsp;wreck the land, they gather the booty and the cattle of thenbsp;land to one stead. The hosts and multitudes of the land awaitednbsp;them round Teuthras, round their king. Teuthras challengednbsp;them to single combat. When Achilles heard that, he cast hisnbsp;travelling dress from him and donned his battleweed of battlenbsp;and combat. Ho donned, in sooth, his hauberk of twice-melted iron and his crested, shapen helmet on his head. Thennbsp;he came throughout the host of the Mysians like a fierce-woundful lion worried on account of (?) cubs, or like anbsp;furious bull to which an evil blow is given. He gave a castnbsp;of a great broad-blue lance at Teuthras, in such wise that thenbsp;head went through him from the one side to the other, andnbsp;Telephus son of Hercules came to him and put his shield tonbsp;ward him just when the battle-soldier had begun to destroynbsp;him. Because ho had given a night’s hospitality to Telephusnbsp;and to his father, namely Hercules, therefore he, Telephus,nbsp;came to him. So when Teuthras expected death he bequeathednbsp;his realm to Telephus, because it was Hercules that had givennbsp;the kingdom to him and slain Diomede (s¹c), and given hisnbsp;heritage to Teuthras. Therefore did Teuthras bestow his kingdom on Telephus. Then Achilles installed Telephus in the

kingdom that he might furnish a tribute of corn to the Greeks to support them so long as they were engaged in the destructionnbsp;(of Troy). It was fulfilled oven so. Then Telephus remainednbsp;in Mysia and Achilles^ went with booty and with groat wealthnbsp;unto the Greeks to the isle of Tonedos. He tells his talesnbsp;and adventures from beginning to end to Agamemnon. Ho toonbsp;was thankful.

744. Now as regards the envoys, namely Diomede and Ulysses, they declared their messages to Priam, namely, that theynbsp;had been sent by the Greeks to demand Helen and the bootynbsp;besides, to make peace and friendship between them, so that thenbsp;Greeks might go back to their home. Hardly (?) then could (?)nbsp;Priam answer these words; but he only said in his mind „Donbsp;ye take heed,“ saith he, „of what hath been done to me, namely,nbsp;killing my father, burning my city, carrying off my sister into slavery?” „I will not make peace,” saith Priam, „with them. Theynbsp;shall not take away women or booty.” He ordered the envoysnbsp;to go out of the country. „Truly,” say the envoys, „we do notnbsp;know whether the counsel which thou takest is meet. It willnbsp;be hard for one small tribe in the world to slay and strikenbsp;against the folk of the whole of Greece with its army.” „Thenbsp;greater,” saith Priam, „will bo the fame and renown of thenbsp;few that will carry on a noble warfare against that mightynbsp;host.” „This warfare will turn out ill for thee,” say the envoys.nbsp;„Thou thyself wilt fall therein, and thy children and thynbsp;friends will fall.” „Not much does that alarm mo,”^ saithnbsp;Hector. „It will be an uprising of soul and a foundation ofnbsp;my fame after me. I will slay hosts and multitudes. Hoadsnbsp;and feet and bodies and necks and waists will be cut andnbsp;carved by the point of my sword. Full will the whole ofnbsp;Greece be of gloom and of sorrow, for the sons of their kingsnbsp;and their captains and their nobles will fall at my hands.”®

„How wilt thou do that?“ say the envoys, „for heroes of thy likeness and fashion will bide at the end of the drove (?) againstnbsp;thee? For heroes there will be in plenty to whom attackingnbsp;thee will bo a pleasure. There will be no seeking for heroesnbsp;fit to forbid and overcome thee.“

768. „Not thus shall it be,“ says Hector, „for I shall be a ... in combat against each man of them. Their weaponsnbsp;will not clash against me because of the excellence of thenbsp;defenco.“

771. Then the envoys turned to the isle of Tenedos, to the camp of the Greeks. Agamemnon asked tidings of thenbsp;envoys, what kind of country they had gone to, and what thenbsp;gallantry of the heroes, what the strength of the walls, whatnbsp;the steadfastness of the city? „In truth,“ say they, „though therenbsp;were seven tongues in the head of each of us, we could notnbsp;set forth everything that we beheld. For the Trojans excelnbsp;the men of the world in form and shape and raiment. Woenbsp;to him who shall destroy them, woe to him whom they shallnbsp;slay (?), woe to him who shall slay them and shall be victoriousnbsp;over them and lay them low!“

780. Now when this gathering of Europe on a hosting towards Troy to devastate it, was announced [to the Trojans],nbsp;they wont to seek armies to their neighbours and to the overkings of great Asia; and their kings and their captains camenbsp;with hosts and multitudes to help the Trojans.

Then went Fundatus ^ and Amphicastus ^ two kings of Zelia.

Then came Ascanius and Antiphus and Phorcys with great hosts out of Phrygia.

Came Epistrophus and Boetius from . . . There came Py-laemenes with a great host out of Paphlagonia.

796. Then, too, came Perses (and) Memnon with innumerable hosts from Ethiopia, chief of consultation and captain of all Asia.

There came Rhesus and Archilochus with the host of Agrestia.

Then ctime Eitistrophus with numerous troops from i\lizonia.

800. Now when all these had arrived, Priam chose a single captain of manslaying over all these hosts, both in the middlenbsp;and in the outside of them, to wit, Hector. Every man hadnbsp;authority after the other, that is to say, Deiphobus after Hector;nbsp;Alexander after him; then Troilus; then Aeneas; lastly, Memnon.nbsp;Then, moreover, proclamation was made by Agamemnon to thenbsp;kings of the Greeks to come to take counsel concerning thenbsp;answer which the envoys had brought with them from Priam.nbsp;When they wore at the council, there came Nauplius Palamedes,nbsp;(i. e. son of Nauplius) from Zona (?) out of Cormum (?) withnbsp;a crew of thirty ships. Great welcome is made to him. Henbsp;was excusing himself for not having come at once to the portnbsp;of Athens, (saying that this was) because he was in heavynbsp;sickness, and when it ceased upon him he came.

811. Thereafter he went into the council, and the Greeks said that this was the proper advice, to attack (?) Troy bynbsp;night. Palamedes did not allow that, but (he said) that theynbsp;should break upon the Trojans in the light of the day, andnbsp;besiege 1 the city afterwards. Every one lauded that advice.nbsp;Then at the end of their council they appointed Agamemnonnbsp;as overking and chief captain of them all. Then they sentnbsp;envoys and travellers (?) from them into Mysia and into othernbsp;lands besides.

818. Agamemnon proclaimed to the kings and to the soldiers and to the whole host that they should set their ships

and barques on sea to row towards Troy. And he began to encourage the heroes and the champions of valour and thenbsp;battlehreachers of hundreds to fight a fight edgeful, bloody,nbsp;angry, truly severe, against the heroes of the terrible Asia.

823. Thereafter the host arose, and loosened their ships’ cables, and left the island. They went straight towards Troy.

825. Now the earth, from sunrise to sunset, almost trembled, and the Tyrrhene sea almost came over its great plains, with the mighty rowing made by the crew of the thirty andnbsp;eleven hundred ships and galleys. That was reasonable, fornbsp;the folk that were on board this fleet were the points ofnbsp;conflict of the world’s men, and the choice of the whole seednbsp;of Adam, and the greater part of the battle-soldiers of the mennbsp;of earth. Because then was the world biding in the midst ofnbsp;its age and its indignation, its mobility and its haughtiness, itsnbsp;battles and its conflicts. Then its men were strongest and itsnbsp;soldiers were bravest, at the time this hosting fared forth.nbsp;Wherefore there had been nothing equal to those heroes fromnbsp;the creation of the elements, as regards valour and prowess,nbsp;save only that Hercules was not there, the hero who excellednbsp;every one.

836. With regard to Priam, however, he put messengers to espy and to survey the ships and the hosts themselves,nbsp;what time they would come from the Tyrrhene sea to the portnbsp;of Troy, so that battalions might he ready before them tonbsp;safeguard the city.

He beheld above the masts the varieties of thenbsp;many-coloured sails of different colours of cloth of every country.nbsp;Then he went with information to Priam. Priam asked tidingsnbsp;of him. Then he said:

851. „Then there appeared to me the sound of a keen tempestuous wind. Meseemed that it would cast down thenbsp;forests of the world, even as the blast of Doom.

853. „I heard the noise of a mighty thunder: meseemed it was the heaven that fell, or the sea that ebbed away, ornbsp;the earth that split into many parts, or as if showers of starsnbsp;were falling on the face of the earth.quot;

856. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;what is that?quot; saith Priam.

857. „Not hard to say,quot; saith the messenger. „The thickish gray cloud, which I beheld over the sea, is the breaths of thenbsp;heroes and the champions of valour that filled the face of thenbsp;sea and the hollow (?) which is between heaven and earth,nbsp;because the steam and boiling of the keen-edged wrath arosenbsp;in the forebreasts of the valiant heroes, wherefore they turnednbsp;their wrath upon the rivalry of the rowing, so that it fillednbsp;(with their breath) the air above them.

863. „The noise o,f the rough wind which I heard is the sighing and panting of those champions, with the fatigue ofnbsp;the rowing and with mutual envy of a loader’s contest.^

866. „Now this is the thunder which I heard, the gnashing and grinding of the soldiers’ teeth, and the ... of the oars,nbsp;and the crashing of the sculls, and the falling of the benches,nbsp;and the breaking of the masts, the sound of the spears andnbsp;the swords, and the clashing of the shields, the bundling (?)nbsp;of the arrows, the clang of the helmets and the hauberks, atnbsp;the greatness of the rowing and of the . . . which the soldiersnbsp;... on the oars in the rowing.

Then the mightiest heroes went according to (their) power ^ against their foes. Horrible were the signs that were there,nbsp;namely, the shining of the swords and their sparks, a-cleavingnbsp;the shields, the white cloud of the bucklers,^ the smiting together of the glaives and spears and arrows against the hauberksnbsp;and against the helmets, the crash, then, and dashing togethernbsp;of the bosses beaten by the swords and by the warlike battle-stones and by the broad green lances in the hands of the valiantnbsp;heroes. The air above them was specked with the hurlingsnbsp;of the diverse weapons. Then there were jets of blood innumerably pouring out of the limbs and joints and members of thenbsp;heroes, so that they filled the furrows and hollows of thenbsp;battlefield. A close combat fought the four royal soldiers,nbsp;namely Achilles and Diomede, Hector and Aeneas. They hewednbsp;the hosts between them. Achilles and Diomede were cuttingnbsp;off the Trojans from the forefront of the battalion of the Greeks:nbsp;Hector, however, and Aeneas were cutting off the Greeks fromnbsp;the forefront of the battalion of the Trojans. They wroughtnbsp;upon the hosts so that many hundreds fell on each of the twonbsp;lines of battle.

Then came Archomenus, — a royal soldier, he, of the Greeks, — by virtue of sword against Hector, so that his lion’snbsp;rage came to Hector and he gave him a blow of his sword,nbsp;and made two divisions of him. Now when Palemon saw that,nbsp;namely that Archomenus had fallen by Hector’s deeds, he wentnbsp;furiously, martially after Hector. Hector turns against himnbsp;and gives a terrible rush towards him, so that Palemon fellnbsp;by him in that place. Then Epistrophus came to contendnbsp;against Hector, and he gave a cast of his broad gray spearnbsp;at Hector, but Hector put that past him. Then he directednbsp;the lance unto him, and it went into his shield and passednbsp;through himself after splitting the shield from bottom to top:nbsp;so thereof did Epistrophus die at once.

Glad of thee will be the beasts of the desert and thenbsp;birds of the air.“ „Against thyself all that shall turn,“ saithnbsp;Hector, raising the spear that lay in his hand, and giving anbsp;thrust at Elephenor in such wise that it passed through himnbsp;into his gullet, and he fell to the ground. Hector runs to himnbsp;and carried off his harness and his head. Thereat came Dioresnbsp;to him: „Thou shalt not,quot; saith he, „bear away that harnessnbsp;without a contest. Thou wilt not find me the same^ as the heroesnbsp;who have done battle against thee hitherto.quot; „Be it afterwardsnbsp;that thou boastest,quot;^ saith Hector. „We come to know it,quot;nbsp;saith he. Then they fight. Diores fell there by Hector afternbsp;being wounded exceedingly.

990. So Hector on that day slew in single combat eight of the mighty kings of the pure scions of Greece, besidesnbsp;what he slew of valiant soldiers, whose name wins fame andnbsp;renown. On the same day Aeneas son of Anchises laid lownbsp;in single combat two royal soldiers — Amphimachus and Nireusnbsp;their names, — besides what he slew of the rabble. Howbeit,nbsp;Achilles slew three captains of the Trojans by dint’ of valour,nbsp;to wit, Euphemus, Hippothous and Asteropaeus. Terrible, innbsp;sooth was Achilles’ appearance on that day. Round his headnbsp;(was) a crested helmet, from which spears and swords andnbsp;stones would rebound. A hauberk well-braided, mauy-looped,nbsp;strong- . . . protected him from ear to ham. A soldierlynbsp;claymore in his hand, which hauberks and helmets could notnbsp;resist, because of its keenness and its sharpness and its cuttingness. On his left, a hard-keen curved buckler, wherein would fitnbsp;a three years’ boar or a couple in bed. Full from edge to edgenbsp;was it of the forms of unshapely dragons, and of the forms ofnbsp;the beasts and wondrous monsters of the world, of the manynbsp;portentous shapes of the earth. There was, moreover, in thenbsp;inscribing of the shield an image of heaven and earth andnbsp;hell, of sea and air and ether, of sun and moon and the planetsnbsp;besides that run in ether. In the world there was not a battle-weed of battle or conflict or combat like this weed of Achilles.nbsp;Because it is Vulcan, the Smith of Hell, who wrought thatnbsp;armour of Achilles, after he had given his own armour to Pa-troclus, before fighting with Hector: so Hector slew him in thenbsp;form of Achilles, and stript him of Achilles’ raiment; whereforenbsp;Vulcan thereafter made this venomous armour for Achilles, innbsp;order to the slaying of Hector.

1014. Cruel, now, was the confusion which Achilles brought upon the hosts. Many kings, many princes, many heroes,nbsp;many nobles, many lords, many champions were destroyed innbsp;the soldier’s gap which Achilles wrought in^ the battalion ofnbsp;the Trojans.

1020. Now when Agamemnon beheld the kings of the Greeks and many captains of his people slain, and a slaughternbsp;of his army made, it was proclaimed to his people to retreatnbsp;and to leave the line of battle. This, then, is done. The Trojansnbsp;marched to their city with victory and triumph. But as tonbsp;Agamemnon, the kings and chieftains of the Greeks were summoned unto him, and he began to hearten them so that theynbsp;should not be dispirited though multitudes of them had fallen;nbsp;for that hosts and great multitudes would come to them fromnbsp;Mysia on the morrow.

1029. Howheit on the morrow Agamemnon comes with the Greeks, so that they were biding on the battle-field; andnbsp;he began to hearten the heroes and the kings to march withnbsp;all their soldiers and warriors to the battle on that day.

1033. On the other side came the Trojans. A furious battle is fought there at every point. Great in sooth was thenbsp;duration of that battle, for the space of eighty days, withoutnbsp;staying, without pausing, without ceasing, hut each of themnbsp;a-smiting the other. Sooth, many thousands of the heroes of

Asia and Europe fell in that battling. Though each of the two hosts had no loss save what was slain at that season,nbsp;groat were the loss. As to the valiant deeds that Hector didnbsp;at that time, if they were thoroughly known there would benbsp;enough of noble tales for the men of the world.

1041. Howbeit, as Agamemnon beheld many thousands of his people falling every day, and when he beheld the greatnbsp;overthrow that Hector inflicted upon them, and when he beheldnbsp;the fields full of the bodies and of the entrails and of thenbsp;bones, so that the great plain was not traversable, from thenbsp;walls of Troy even to the camp of the Greeks, owing to thenbsp;abundance of bodies and the clots of blood. — As to Littlenbsp;Asia, it was not inhabitable at all, from the bight of thenbsp;Pontic sea in the north as far as Ephesus in the south, withnbsp;the evil stench of the blood and of the bodies decaying, and

with the smoke of the entrails a-hurning in the many fires, so that therefrom fear and... and cursing seized the whole country,nbsp;and slaughter was caused to human beings and cattle and beastsnbsp;and birds. — As, then, Agamemnon beheld all these things, he sentnbsp;to the Trojans two captains of his people, namely, Ulysses andnbsp;Diomode, to ask for a three years’ truce. Now, when the envoysnbsp;entered the city they met with warriors of the Trojans. Thesenbsp;asked tidings of them. The envoys said: „to ask a truce,“ saynbsp;they, „we have come to Priam.“ So when they came to Priam’snbsp;palace they tell their tidings, namely, that they had come fromnbsp;the Greeks to ask a truce, (in order) to bewail their comradesnbsp;and their friends and to bury their dead, to heal their sick,nbsp;to fortify. their ships, to assemble their hosts, to repair thenbsp;camps. Now when Priam heard that answer, his hosts and hisnbsp;multitudes were summoned to him, and he told them what thenbsp;envoys of the Greeks had come for, namely, to seek a threenbsp;years’ truce. To grant the truce, however, seemed not goodnbsp;to Hector. Nevertheless he granted it at the request of thenbsp;king of the Trojans, for they wished to strengthen the ramparts (and) to bury their (dead) friends.

1067. Now the fame and renown of Hector, son of Priam, spread throughout the whole of Asia and the whole of Europe.nbsp;Every pair was whispering about him^ among the chief citiesnbsp;of the world. An unique battle-soldier, with terror, with fear,nbsp;with a lion’s wrath, with a champion’s hardness, with a soldier’snbsp;blow, with a leopard’s storminess, fighting and arising and fending with the few of his city against the active, splendid heroesnbsp;of the west of the world.

1074. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Thus, then, was that tale told:

1075. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;There stands a great awful man a-battling at Troy.nbsp;He alone hath slain a third of the hosts, and cast down thenbsp;strong soldiers, and sprung over the heroes and shaken thenbsp;lines of battle: he reprimanded the heroes, he overthrew thenbsp;kings, he burnt the ships. Their champions of valour and their

battle-breachers of hundreds, and their veterans of the battle-line, and their slaughterous leopards have fallen in fighting againstnbsp;him. He has filled with corpses the fields before Troy. Now therenbsp;was one cry of wail and lamentation throughout Greece throughnbsp;dread of the same man, for their sons and their grandsonsnbsp;and their fosterchildren had fallen through dread of Hector’snbsp;hand. As to the isles of the Tyrrhene sea, great is the cry ofnbsp;lamentation that was therein. They had the wail of every housenbsp;from the sea of the headland of Pelorus to Pachynus andnbsp;Bosphorus. Beautiful were the grown-up girls who were makingnbsp;songs and music . . . commemoration of Hector’s name togethernbsp;with their dear ones and friends who had fallen by his hand.nbsp;So greatly had the fame and renown of Hector run amongnbsp;the chief divisions of the world that the troops and assembliesnbsp;of ladies and the joyous girls of the world, loved him for thenbsp;noble tales about him, so that they would have proceeded (?)nbsp;out of theirnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;landsnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to see andnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to contemplate Hector’s form,

had not the nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;greatnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;warsnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;takennbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;[him] fromnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;them. Asnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to the

sons of the nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;kingsnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;andnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;noblesnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;of Greece,nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;they wentnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;as far

as Troy, with one nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;will,nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to seenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Hector, andnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;they usednbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to step

on mounds and on enclosures to see Hector over the men’s shoulders. When he was in his full equipment of armour andnbsp;apparel, the Greeks, for fear of Hector, knew not what theynbsp;should do. They knew not how they should go in order to slaynbsp;him. Of the world’s men there were none, whatever were thenbsp;excellence of their prowess and their casting of darts, that couldnbsp;strike Hector because of the excellence of (his) defence andnbsp;protection. During the seven years the Greeks were unablenbsp;to overcome him, although they excelled the men of the worldnbsp;in knowledge and wisdom, in cunning and valour.

1112. Then came the end of the truce. Hector and Troi-lus went before the host of the Trojans against the Greeks. A battle, angry, savage, edged, was fought by them on thenbsp;slaughterfield. Hector attacked the battalion of the Greeks, sonbsp;that Phidippus fell by him in the first line of battle. Henbsp;brought confusion on them all, and slew many thousands of

them. By him, moreover, fell Antiphus, a wonderful captain of the Greeks was he. Then came Achilles from the side ofnbsp;the Greeks and cut up the Trojans, so that many hundredsnbsp;of them fell by him. Then he killed two champions and twonbsp;chief-warriors of the Trojans, namely Lycaon and Euphronius.nbsp;There was no pause to the fighting every single day to thenbsp;end of thirty days. There were layers, then, and great heapsnbsp;of human bodies between the city and the camp at that season.

1115. Now when Priam saw that countless hosts of his people had fallen through the greater force that had comenbsp;out of Greece and out of Mysia, he sent to seek a truce ofnbsp;six months. Agamemnon granted that, by advice of the worthies of the Greeks.

1119. The time of the battle came. A cruel conflict is fought on this side and that. Many most mighty captains fellnbsp;in each of the two hosts. Multitudes were wounded. Abundant was the paean round a hero’s head there. There, then,nbsp;they ceased not fighting for the space of twelve days.

1123. Thereafter Agamemnon sent to seek a truce of thirty days. Priam granted that, by the advice of the Trojansnbsp;and by the advice of Hector son of Priam.

1126. Now when the time of battle arrived, it came to pass that Andromache, Hector’s wife, saw a grim, execrablenbsp;vision concerning her husband. This was the vision. A greatnbsp;image had Hector in the archway that he held of the city,nbsp;his own image there in sooth, and the image of his horse beneath him. Now Andromache saw its head fall from thatnbsp;image. Andromache after rising out of her sleep, kept silencenbsp;as to that thing (but) she declares the vision to Hector, andnbsp;began dissuading him from entering the battle on that day.nbsp;When Hector heard that, he said that it was not good advice,nbsp;and he began upbraiding his wife keenly and said: „I will innbsp;nowise give up my valour or my prowess for a woman’s counsel.quot;

1137. Now when Hector took his fighting-dress of battle

about him, and began to go to the battle-line, then did Andromache utter her three screams on high, so that horror and fear thereat seized the folk of the whole of Troy, and she farednbsp;forward to Priam and related her dream to him and declarednbsp;to him that he should constrain Hector that day not to enternbsp;the battle. Then, too, his little son was brought before thenbsp;battle-soldier, so that this held him fast. When Hector wasnbsp;held fast, Priam pressed on the hosts of the city to go boldlynbsp;to the battle. This is done.

1146. As to Agamemnon and Achilles and Diomede and Locrian Ajax, when they saw that Hector had not entered thenbsp;fight they made nothing of the (Trojan) hosts. They werenbsp;furious in smiting the hosts, and they took not their handsnbsp;from them until they had forced them back into the city, andnbsp;shut it upon them.

1151. Now when the savage wild-beast and the glaring fire-brand with which the west of the world was flaming, tonbsp;wit. Hector, heard the exceeding great noise of the Greeks andnbsp;the great danger in which the Trojans were biding, he givesnbsp;a furious, lively goal towards the conflict, so that multitudesnbsp;of the heroes of the Greeks fell by him. Idomeneus, in sooth,nbsp;fell by him in the first line of battle. Then he slew Iphinous,nbsp;a hero-soldier of the Greeks. He slew Leonteus moreover, atnbsp;the first rush. Then he wounded Stlienelus in his thigh. Sonbsp;ho . . . throughout the host in that wise and plied his ragenbsp;upon them like a stag in heat (?). Hector rested not from themnbsp;in that wise till [the field] was full of bodies and of heads fromnbsp;one end to another of the battle. So it is that not morenbsp;numerous are sheaves of oats in autumn after a great reaping-party, or icicles under feet of kings’ herds in a ford betweennbsp;two territories, than are the heads and feet and bodies andnbsp;waists cleft by the edge of his sword (or) point of spear andnbsp;cut by the swordlets and spears that were fitted out of hisnbsp;own hauberk and the hauberks of his horses.

1167. Now when Achilles saw that the chief manslayers of the whole of Greece had fallen by Hector, and (beheld) the

*

confusion that Hector brought on the hosts, he pondered in his mind how he should set about slaying Hector, for the Greeks hadnbsp;no hero a match for him save Achilles only. He was sure thatnbsp;unless Hector should fall quickly not one of the nine and fortynbsp;kings who had come from Greece on this hosting, would escape,nbsp;and that he would deliver a sudden attack on the host besides,nbsp;so that no living man of them should escape from him. Nownbsp;while Achilles was thus pondering, a valiant battle-soldier of thenbsp;Greeks, namely Polyhoetes, set shield against shield to Hector.nbsp;It was not long that he endured Hector, so that he fell by him.nbsp;This struck the Greeks dumbh the quickness with which thenbsp;hero had been slain in their presence. Then the Greeks betooknbsp;themselves to a lying, snaring stratagem behind his back, sincenbsp;they could no nothing before his face, because of the constancynbsp;of (his) valour. This was the stratagem: they cast their clothesnbsp;off them, and made thereof a mound in front of them, andnbsp;Achilles, with his spear in his hand, was set in the middlenbsp;of the mound. They then pretended to flee. The battle-soldier.nbsp;Hector, ran after them, and began cutting down and hewingnbsp;the soldiers and causing^ the slaughter, and took to spoiling thenbsp;slain Idomeneus. Thereat Achilles comes to him. When thenbsp;hosts saw that, theynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;gave one crynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;outnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;of them,nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;both Greeks

and Trojans and the nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;people of thenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;citynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;in the middle; but it

was with a diverse intention: this was the intention of the Trojans, to make known the wile to Hector: the intention ofnbsp;the Greeks, however, was to shout at him so that he shouldnbsp;not hear (the Trojans). Then Hector started up, and turnednbsp;against Achilles, andnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;gave a thrustnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;of anbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;lance atnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;him, so that

it pierced his thigh, nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;and began tonbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;gonbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;into thenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;midst of his

Him followed the terrible hero, the mightiest who was in the west of the world, to wit, Achilles, when the valournbsp;and fury and anger wrought by the wound had sprung intonbsp;him; and a blow of the great spear that lay in his hand henbsp;dealt into Hector’s back and broke the bone of his back before

he had got into the midst of his people. The hosts of the Greeks overtook and closed around him. Then in that wisenbsp;Hector sent forth his spirit. The Greeks uttered a shout ofnbsp;victory and exultation, because of (?) * Hector the chief warriornbsp;of the earth.

1199. Now when Achilles had completed this deed, he drove the Trojans before him towards their city, and hurlednbsp;slaughter upon them as far as the doors. Howbeit Memnonnbsp;the Black gave a duel to him, and withstood him, although itnbsp;was a difficult combat, so that it was the night that separatednbsp;their combat. Achilles returns after the day was ended, bloody,nbsp;woundful, gore-streaming, to his tents after victory and triumph.

1205. Sad, in sooth, were the wailing and the lamentation that were that night in Troy. Much grief there was therein, and sadness and lamentation and handsmiting, becausenbsp;there was wanting unto them their goodly captain of prowess,nbsp;and their heart’s nut, and the bush of their safeguard, andnbsp;their battle-gate of battle, their shield of protection, andnbsp;their bar of boundaries against foes. A city without fencenbsp;was their city after him. Guarding (?) round a king was guarding round him. Arising round a champion was arising roundnbsp;him. He surpassed the heroes of all the world in splendour andnbsp;in dexterity, in wisdom and in valour, in dignity and in abundance. He was full of knowledge in every science. He surpassednbsp;the world’s champions of valour in plying spear and sword.nbsp;He excelled the men of the earth in winning battle and conflict. He surpassed the warriors of the earth in splendour andnbsp;in dexterity, in swiftness and springiness. Even great multitudesnbsp;of the Greeks lamented him because of the noble tales aboutnbsp;him. Greatly did the striplings lament, and the young youthfulnbsp;folk who had come out of neighbouring districts to behold him.

1220. Great, however, was the joy that abode in the leaguer of the Greeks on that night, so that the Greeks did

not sleep, on that night, their sound sleep. They had put their great fear from them. They had avenged their sighs. Theynbsp;had cast their weariness from them after overwhelming thenbsp;great soldier who had flung down their champions (and) laidnbsp;their heroes low.

1225. Now while Memnon was on the morrow gathering the battle for the Greeks, Agamemnon sent messengers tonbsp;Priam to ask a truce to the end of two months, for buryingnbsp;their dead, for tending their wounded. After this truce hadnbsp;been granted by Priam, Hector was buried by him beforenbsp;the gates of the city, and funeral games were held for him,nbsp;according to^ the rites and the customs of the Trojans.

1231. While the truces were lasting Palamedes was complaining greatly that Agamemnon had the kingship. So when Agamemnon heard that, he declared that he would part from his kingship if every one (so) wished. On the morrow, therefore, thenbsp;people are summoned to a council. Then Agamemnon declared thatnbsp;he was not covetous about the kingship: he was willing thoughnbsp;he should abide therein, he was willing not to abide. Enough fornbsp;him only that the honourprice of the Trojans should be exacted.nbsp;So when Palamedes was boasting of his wisdom and his knowledge, of his valour and of his princeliness, the Greeks thennbsp;appointed him chief king over them all. So Palamedes assumednbsp;the kingship and gave thanks to the Greeks. Howbeit, Achillesnbsp;was ill-pleased that a change of kings had been made by them.

1242. Howbeit, Palamedes took to fortifying the camp and enlarging the trenches (?). Then he urged on the soldiersnbsp;to come boldly to fight against the Trojans and (especially)nbsp;against Deiphobus, son of Priam. So on the morrow the Trojansnbsp;and the Greeks meet on the battle-field. Then Sarpedon Lycius,nbsp;a Trojan, routed the Greeks and inflicted great slaughternbsp;upon them. Tlepolemus Rhodius, a Greek, fights a fierce contest against Sarpedon, a Trojan. Now when Pheres son ofnbsp;Admetus, a royal captain of Greeks, saw that Tlepolemus had

fallen by Sarpedon, be comes angrily and manfully towards him, so that they were for a long while smiting each other. Thennbsp;Pheres, a Greek, fell after (receiving) many wounds from Sarpedon. So Sarpedon returned, covered with blood and wounds,nbsp;to his house.

1254. So while they were fighting, many leaders fell on each of the two sides; but of champions and heroes more fellnbsp;of the Trojans. Now when the Trojans were sore pressed^nbsp;they sent to seek a respite. While the truces lasted theynbsp;buried their dead, they tended their wounded.

1259. It was safe then, for Trojans to wander about in the camp of the Greeks, while the truces were lasting duly;nbsp;and it was safe for Greeks to go into Troy.

1262. Then Agamemnon and Demophoon were summoned into the council-house to Palamedes, the king of the Greeks,nbsp;that they might go into Moesia to fetch thereout tribute of cornnbsp;from Telephus son of Hercules, the steward of Moesia. „It isnbsp;likely,quot; saith Palamedes, „that Agamemnon will deem it irksome,nbsp;after being on the throne, to be sent on an embassy.quot; „I willnbsp;not, however, deem it irksomequot;, saith Agamemnon, „to go atnbsp;thy behest.quot;

1269. Now as to Palamedes, he fortified the camp and built lofty towers all round about it. Howbeit, the Trojansnbsp;marvelled, what caused the Greeks to repair the camp, andnbsp;renew the ramparts, and extend the forts and the palisades,nbsp;and to prepare every thing.

1273. Now when Hector had been a full year in (his) grave, forth from their city fared outside Andromache Hector’snbsp;wife, and Priam son of Laomedon, and Hecuba Priam’s wife,nbsp;and Polyxena Priam’s daughter, and Alexander Priam’s son,nbsp;and Troilus Priam’s son, and Deiphobus Priam’s son, and hostsnbsp;and multitudes along with them, to hold funeral games fornbsp;Hector. Then it came to pass that Achilles was in the gatenbsp;of the city before them. At once, as he beheld that most

beautiful lady, to wit, Polyxena, be gave love and fondness and affection to her. Then began to be peace without fightingnbsp;(as men were) awaiting the lady’s betrothal to him.

1282. Now he felt sore that Agamemnon was put out of his kingship and that Palamedes was reigning, because therenbsp;was nothing that Agamemnon would not do for him.

1284. Then Achilles sent a messenger, i. e. servus Trojanus, to speak with Hecuba, namely, that Polyxena should be givennbsp;to him and that he would go to his country with his Myrmidons along with him; and he declared that if he went,nbsp;every king and every leader of all the Greeks would go home.nbsp;Hecuba said that that thing she would like, if Priam liked it.nbsp;She asked Priam if it seemed good to him. „That camrot be,“nbsp;saith Priam — not, however, that he is bad of birth; fornbsp;though he should go to his home with his Myrmidons, thenbsp;leaders of the Greeks besides would not go.“ It seemed evilnbsp;to him to give his daughter to an unknown stranger who wouldnbsp;fare forthwith to his territory and his land. Then Achillesnbsp;sent the same servant to ask of Hecuba what counsel she andnbsp;Priam had given.Hecuba declared to him Priam’s counsel.

1297. Now when the messenger had related to Achilles his tidings and his goings, he (Achilles) was lamenting andnbsp;bewailing greatly throughout the leaguer, and he said: „Greatnbsp;the folly“, saith he, „that is done here, namely, to collect thenbsp;valiant champions and hardy heroes of Asia and of Europe,nbsp;so that they have been a-smiting and slaughtering each othernbsp;because of one woman.quot; Grievous it seemed to him, then, thatnbsp;the children of the kings and the captains and the nobles shouldnbsp;perish and fade through that cause, and peasants and meannbsp;races should become great after them. Better were peace there,nbsp;and friendship and good will, and that each should go to hisnbsp;own land.

1306. Thereafter, then, the truces expired. Palamedes came with his hosts and with his mnltitudes outside the camp so

that they were biding on the battlefield. The Trojans, however, came from the other side with Deiphobus son of Priam. How-beit, on that day, Achilles, for wrath and bitterness, enterednbsp;not the battle. The greater, then, was the fury and tempestnbsp;of Palamedes thereat. He broke a breach of a hundred in thenbsp;battle, till he came to the place wherein Deiphobus, son ofnbsp;Priam, was biding; and cut his head off him over shield.

1314. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Thereafter arose a very mighty and savage contest.nbsp;Woeful on this side and on that was that conflict.

1315. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Many thousands fell on each' of the two sides, sonbsp;that the earth was crimson underfoot with the clots of thenbsp;blood. Then came Sarpedon Lycius with great fury and greatnbsp;anger to fight against Palamedes. Palamedes awaited him, sonbsp;that Sarpedon Lycius fell by him. So when Palamedes hadnbsp;done these deeds, he was biding joyfully before the line ofnbsp;battle. So when he was boasting that two royal battle-soldiersnbsp;of the Trojans had fallen by his hands, Alexander loosed hisnbsp;bow, and sent a shot of an arrow at Palamedes, so that itnbsp;entered him. When the Trojans saw that, they all cast theirnbsp;spears at him, so that of him was made a mill-sieve. Palamedes fell in that place. After the fall of the king of thenbsp;Greeks, they were hunted as far as the camp, and they passednbsp;in their fleeing to the midst of it. The Trojans close roundnbsp;the fortress to destroy the camp, and they burn the ships.nbsp;This is told to Achilles. „That is untrue!quot; saith Achilles.nbsp;„Defeat on the new king, and his falling by his foes!quot; That wasnbsp;mockery on his part. Ajax son of Telamon was in the rear ofnbsp;the host, and he gave hard battle to the Trojans in such wisenbsp;that it was the night that severed their fighting, so that eachnbsp;of them went to his stronghold at the end of the day. Nownbsp;the Greeks that night bewailed Palamedes for the goodnessnbsp;of his form and his shape and his build; for the greatness ofnbsp;his wisdom and his lore and his knowledge; and for thenbsp;greatness of his bounty and his deeds and his valour. Thenbsp;Trojans, moreover, lamented Sarpedon and Deiphobus, theirnbsp;royal leaders and their chief battle-soldiers.

1338. So that on night Nestor gathered together the kings and the captains into one assembly to counsel them to getnbsp;one king over them. And it was Agamemnon in particularnbsp;whom he urged them to get, forasmuch as the host hadnbsp;great prosperity and good fortune there while Agamemnon hadnbsp;been their king.

1343. In the morning on the morrow the Trojans marched to the battle. They were well-nigh mad and infuriated, andnbsp;they shook the earth with the greatness of the vehemence (?)nbsp;and the boiling of the anger which the heroes brought withnbsp;them into the battle. Then from the other side marchednbsp;Agamemnon with the battalion of the Greeks around him. Fell,nbsp;then, was the fight which the soldiers fought. Each of themnbsp;had harm for the other. They yearned to pour forth the bloodnbsp;without . . . That conflict was a rout on this side and on that.

1351. Now when noon had come, Troilus went towards the fight and gave a goal that was not unterrible, past thenbsp;champions of the Trojans, in such wise that he was bidingnbsp;between them and their foes; and he began hewing at thenbsp;heroes and severing the companies, and slaying the hosts fromnbsp;the breast of his own battalion, and he delivered a thunder-feat upon them, and drove them together before him to thenbsp;camp as a hawk drives little birds. ^ And he stayed not fromnbsp;them, so that many thousands of them fell by him before thenbsp;gates of the camp were shut behind them. Of the unreckonablenbsp;things of this story was what fell of the heroes of Greece herenbsp;by the rough play of Troilus.

1360. On the morrow betimes ^ forth from their city came outside the Trojans to the battle. Then Agamemnon comes onnbsp;the other side with the heroes of the Greeks around him. Anbsp;bloody, angry, deadly, venomous fight, full of mournful wailing,nbsp;is fought on each side of the combat. Vast slaughter was inflicted on each of the two sides. The champions of valour of

Europe apd Asia were broken there. A cruel, mighty, woundful battle was there begun. Plenteous were the streams of blood over the skins of tender youths a-going into dangernbsp;according to their power. Many were the heroes lying hackednbsp;and cut by the fighting of foes. Many were the shields clovennbsp;from edge to edge. Many were the swords worn down to theirnbsp;hilts by the mutual smiting. Many were the spears and javelinsnbsp;broken all round the battlefield. Many were the byrnies without . . . Full on that day were the slaughter-fields, glens, andnbsp;valleys and firths, of the streams of blood that were therenbsp;a-dropping out of bodies of valiant heroes. Of the deeds donenbsp;on this day — though none should be counted save those thatnbsp;fell by the hand of Troilus (the youngest of Priam’s children,nbsp;but the eldest of the men of the world from sunrise to sunsetnbsp;as regards honour and prowess and valour) — though none butnbsp;those should be counted, it were enough of tidings of valournbsp;and of loss of his enemies. For though the Greeks should notnbsp;find a lessening (?) of that host save only those of their strongnbsp;leaders that fell that day at the hands of Troilus, it wasnbsp;enough of evil; besides what he laid low of the rest of thenbsp;host, — more was that than could be reckoned.

1382. Thereafter, then, they went on fighting every day till the end of the week. Agamemnon sent to ask a truce tillnbsp;the end of two months. Then each buried his friend and hisnbsp;comrade and his companion. Then the Greeks, with Agamemnon, held funeral games, magnificently and honourably, fornbsp;Palamedes their king.

1387. Now while these truces were lasting, Agamemnon sent envoys to invite Achilles into the battle. These were thenbsp;envoys, to wit, Ulysses and Nestor and Diomede. That wasnbsp;in no wise gotten from Achilles, because of what Hecuba hadnbsp;promised him; for so great was his love for Polyxena that he

was

mightily enraged with the envoys because they had come at all to him; and he said to them that it was better to makenbsp;peace and goodwill and friendship between the two countries

than unpeace and unfriendship, and to have the heroes of the two countries falling (in fight).

1396. When Agamemnon was told of Achilles’ stern refusal of the fighting, unto him all the other leaders were invited tonbsp;take counsel as to what they should do, whether it should benbsp;what Achilles had said, to wit, peace and friendship, or whethernbsp;it should be warfare and quarrel as they had begun. He askednbsp;them in the assembly what the mind of each of them chose.nbsp;Then, truly, his brother Menelaus besought him to hearten thenbsp;soldiers to the fighting, and not to relinquish Troy. Menelaus alsonbsp;said that neither dread nor fear of the city was needful, for therenbsp;was no hero like Hector guarding it then, as there had beennbsp;before. Then said Ulysses and Diomede that Hector had notnbsp;been mightier than Troilus (was) in deeds of valour and prowess. „However, it is not in order to refuse the fighting thatnbsp;we declare that,“ say they. Then did Calchas declare to themnbsp;out of Apollo’s prophecy, that they should not desert the land ofnbsp;Troy, for that the fall of Troy was nearer to them than anything.

1410. Now when the end of this truce arrived, Agamemnon and Menelaus, Diomede, Ulysses and Ajax fared towards the fight. The Trojans, too, went on the other side with Troilus,nbsp;with Aeneas, with Helenus etc. The two battle-lines attackednbsp;(each other) mightily and passionately. As to Troilus, however,nbsp;be went forward to the battalion of the Greeks. He begannbsp;to deliver a savage, fearful attack on the hosts. He woundednbsp;Menelaus in the first line of battle. Then he mightily huntednbsp;the hosts until they came to the camp. On the morrow Troilusnbsp;and Alexander went before the host of the Trojans. Agamemnon, however, and Diomede and Ulysses and Nestor and Ajaxnbsp;son of Telamon and Menelaus come before the battalions ofnbsp;the Greeks. It is doubtful, then, if they left any one in thenbsp;camp save Achilles with his household and his host. Bitter,nbsp;insooth, was the kind of slaughter that they both inflicted.nbsp;No one there endured little (?) from another. Troilus wasnbsp;furious, and he gave a goal towards the Greeks, in such wisenbsp;that he was in the middle of the host. A champion’s site was

left for him in the midst of the battle, so that for a spearcast from him there was none of his foes upon it. That attack ofnbsp;his was not . . , to make a sword-land and a warlike fold andnbsp;a battle-wall of corpses around him amidst his foes in suchnbsp;wise that foes were between them and his own people. Thennbsp;he attacked the band of the soldiers among whem was Diomede,nbsp;and he put them to flight.^ Thereafter he attacked the handnbsp;of the kings with Agamemnon: he routed them and slew anbsp;king among them. He is mad then and falls ^ upon them likenbsp;a wolf among sheep till he pressed them before him as far asnbsp;the camp. In that wise, then, were they battling for the spacenbsp;of thirty days. Many thirties, many forties, many fifties, many'nbsp;hundreds, many thousands of them fell at that season.

1437. Now when Agamemnon saw that a vast host of his people had fallen, and that of (his) host there was not thenbsp;material for battling against the Trojans by reason of the destruction of his people, he sent to ask of Priam a truce tonbsp;the end of six months. So all his leaders were invited to Priam,nbsp;and he told them that men had come from the Greeks to asknbsp;a half-year’s truce. That, however, was not readily got from thenbsp;Trojans and Troilus; nevertheless they granted it at Priam’s entreaty. Thereafter the envoys of the Greeks came to the camp.nbsp;After the granting of the truce every one buried his friend and hisnbsp;companion, and moreover the wounded folk, namely, Diomede andnbsp;Menelaus, were tended by Agamemnon. Then the Trojans did thenbsp;same, to wit, they buried their dead, they healed their wounded.

1499. Now the Grecian kings took counsel® as to how they should prevail on Achilles to come into the battle, because,nbsp;except him, there was found no hero with them who couldnbsp;withstand Troilus. So they persuaded Agamemnon himself tonbsp;come and invite Achilles. Then Achilles besought Agamemnonnbsp;that he should not make war, but that it should be peace; fornbsp;,peace is better than lucJcy warfare? „If, however, ye fare

1457. Now when the time of the battle came the Trojans arrayed their host. The Greeks also, on the other side, setnbsp;their battalion in order. Then Achilles began deligently tonbsp;encourage the Myrmidons, and he sent them in their knot ofnbsp;battle to fight against the Trojans and against Troilus; andnbsp;he said to them also that they should bring him Troilus’ head.nbsp;A conflict awful, unheard-of, arises^ between the two ends(?)nbsp;of the battalions. The Myrmidons became mad. The earth almostnbsp;broke under their feet with the boiling of the wrath thatnbsp;abode in their breasts. They deemed it much that they wouldnbsp;not get their fill of fighting and battle even till the end ofnbsp;the world. They deemed it much that with every blow theynbsp;should cast the men down to the ground. They deemed itnbsp;much that they should hunt the Trojans as far as their city.nbsp;They deemed it much also that they should breach and shatternbsp;the walls of Troy. 'Whatever (?) were the strength of the mennbsp;that happened to be against them, (those men) would not havenbsp;endured them had not Troilus helped.®)

1471. Now when Troilus beheld the great fury and the vehemence and the valour (?) that the Myrmidons displayed, andnbsp;when they had cast their spears on himself, fury and angernbsp;filled him; and out of his forehead arose the hero’s light, untilnbsp;it was as long as the nose; and his two eyes came out of hisnbsp;head till they were longer than an artemh^ to the outside ofnbsp;his head. Alike were his hair and the branches of a hawthorn. He attacked the hosts in that wise, like a lion active,nbsp;full of rending fury(?), who runs to ... a herd of boars. Sonbsp;he slew thrice fifty champions of valour of the Greeks and

Myrmidons at the first soldier’s onrush which he gave against them. He brought confusion then on all the hosts, and ruinednbsp;the Greeks, and slew the Myrmidons, as far as the entrancesnbsp;of the camp. And he caused the slaughter of the hosts; andnbsp;of the unreckonahle things of the ‘Destruction (of Troy’) isnbsp;what Troilus slew of the Greeks on that day only. And it isnbsp;hard to say^ if any one of the whole host escaped from him,nbsp;that was not lame or blind or deaf or lefthanded, after beingnbsp;cut and mutilated by the thrust of his spear, by the mouthnbsp;of his sword, by the edge of his shield, by the end of his fist,nbsp;by the crook of his elbow, by the thick of his knee; so thatnbsp;at the same time he plied them with the rocks (?) of the stones,nbsp;the bodies of the chariots, the yokes of the oxen, the sharesnbsp;of the ploughs. Then he used to take the shields and thenbsp;swords and the stakes and the lances, so that only their remnants lay in his hand after being broken in smiting his foes.nbsp;So greatly did they flee that it is doubtful (whether even)nbsp;Ajax son of Telamon remained behind them. Troilus with hisnbsp;Trojans returned with great victory and great triumph at thenbsp;hour of evening to their city. There was great grief on thatnbsp;night in the leaguer of the Greeks through fear of Troilus’ hand.nbsp;A marvel (?) to them was the youth of the lad and how little^nbsp;the choice of the champions and warriors of the west of thenbsp;world could maintain striking against him. Each of them said tonbsp;the other that if his (Troilus’) score of years were complete, henbsp;would kill the whole host and that not a man to tell tidingsnbsp;of them would get back from him to the land of Greece. Ifnbsp;he were a man in the prime* of his age he would overtopnbsp;the heroes and champions of the earth, from the rising of thenbsp;sun to the setting thereof, and he would fill the world withnbsp;stories of him and of his valorous achievements and mightynbsp;deeds, and would surpass even Hercules in strength and bravery.

old, the Trojans’ realm would rule over the men of the earth from the hounds of luenes (Imaus?) unto the isles of the Britons, to the north-west of the world. Truly (then) there wouldnbsp;be a single king throughout the world’s four quarters.

1507. In the morning on the morrow Agamemnon went forth- with his host. Then all the leaders of the Myrmidonsnbsp;went like warriors, furiously, straight on before Troilus. Nownbsp;when the two battalions met, a rough combat was fought there.nbsp;Multitudes of each of the two sides fell. They were for a seasonnbsp;in that wise battling on every day. Troilus used to attack themnbsp;every day and hurled slaughter upon them as far as the camp.nbsp;And he took a troop of the Myrmidons especially, and cut theirnbsp;hands off, so that they might go to Achilles in his fort.

1515. Now when Achilles saw that many thousands of his people had fallen, and the crushing that Troilus broughtnbsp;upon them, he sent to Priam to ask a truce of thirty days, innbsp;order to bury his dead and to heal his wounded. Priamnbsp;granted the truce because (he wished) to do the same.

1520. Now when the time of battle arrived the Trojans come forth out of their city. The Greeks gather on the othernbsp;side. Thereat then Troilus comes to the line of battle. Henbsp;drove the Greeks about. He hunted the Myrmidons in flightnbsp;before him to the camp. So then anger and rage seized Achilles,nbsp;seeing every day the rout (coming) towards him. Roughnbsp;he deemed the dressing which Troilus would inflict^ every daynbsp;on his people. Sad he was that his good folk and good peoplenbsp;of manslayiug, his comrades and his friends, had fallen before hisnbsp;face in the battle-field. He deemed it a shame, too, that thenbsp;tender, beardless lad, whose hair or beard had not grown,nbsp;should be cutting and rending the champions of the west ofnbsp;the world, whose equal, of Adam’s seed, there had not beennbsp;up to that time. Then he himself went into the battle, andnbsp;he went right onward before Troilus. When Troilus saw thatnbsp;he awaited him. Then they both fight ^ a duel. Troilus hurls

on him a cast of a great spear, and wounded him. On men, then, was Achilles carried from him to his camp. So thenbsp;hosts were in that wise smiting one another^ till the end ofnbsp;a week. Multitudes, however, fell among them at that season.

1538. Howbeit, on the sixth day after being wounded Achilles again entered the battle, and began urging the Myrmidons to rout the Trojans. Now when the sun was rising into the heightnbsp;of heaven and shone on glens and slopes, Troilus came to thenbsp;battle. The Greeks on seeing Troilus, utter a mighty shout.nbsp;The Myrmidons come before him and close ^ upon him, becausenbsp;he was on a horse. Of the stately things of the world wasnbsp;what ho did of feats of valour before them, to wit, the excellence of the hurling, the cunning of the defence, the quickness ofnbsp;the mighty blows. He plied his rage and his wrath on murderingnbsp;the troops, on slaying the soldiers, on smiting the hosts. Ofnbsp;the unreckonable things of the ‘Destruction (of Troy)’ is (thenbsp;number) of Greeks that Troilus and his horse slew on that daynbsp;only. Now when the Greeks saw that great multitudes werenbsp;killed by Troilus, they all set their mind to compass the killing of him. So when Troilus was slaying (his foes), a castnbsp;is made at the horse that was under him, and the spearheadnbsp;went through him, and the horse gave three bounds on highnbsp;and fell to the ground, and flung Troilus on the other side onnbsp;his back. Before he got up, Achilles comes towards him quicklynbsp;and rapidly, and gives a thrust of a huge spear at him, sonbsp;that it went through him to the earth, and Troilus died thereof.nbsp;Now when he (Achilles) made an attempt at hearing the bodynbsp;to his camp, then did Memnon the Black come towards him,nbsp;and took from him the body by force, and wounded Achillesnbsp;himself. After his wound Achilles goes to his camp. Memnonnbsp;followed him to the camp with his hosts around him. Now whennbsp;the terrible hero, the mightiest that hath been of Adam’s seed,nbsp;to wit, Achilles, saw (that), he could not bear not to turn

against Memnon. So, after battling for a long time, they fight a duel. Memnon fell, after many wounds were sot upon him;nbsp;and even Achilles was wounded, and he went to his camp withnbsp;great victory and great triumph, and was long a-liealing therein.nbsp;Now from the time that Troilus and Memnon fell the Trojansnbsp;were routed^ to their city, and they left (behind them) a greatnbsp;slaughter of valiant men, and the gates were shut diligently.nbsp;Now when the night came, the Greeks went to their campnbsp;with victory and triumph.

1571. On the morrow Priam sent to ask a truce to the end of thirty days. The Greeks accepted that. Then by Priamnbsp;were buried Troilus and Memnon and multitudes of others besides.nbsp;As regards the lamentation that was poured over Troilus andnbsp;Memnon, it cannot be told how it was made. For there werenbsp;the hosts of Asia, both man and woman, both boys and girls,nbsp;both old and young, boating their hands and bewailing at onenbsp;time and one hour. They cast forth showers of burning tears.nbsp;They cut their hair from their heads, and they darkened (?) theirnbsp;faces at the affliction caused by the deed. Because that wasnbsp;the day whereon fell the east of the world, to wit, the chiefnbsp;leader of the whole of Great Asia, to wit, the king of Persianbsp;and Egypt fell there, namely Memnon. As to the hero andnbsp;battle-soldier and battle-valve of battle of the men of thenbsp;world, and the noble, conspicuous stripling, around whom thenbsp;youths of the Trojans used to go for games and assemblies,nbsp;that Jie fell there was a great loss to the whole of Asia. This,nbsp;in sooth, was the first destruction of Troy. The soldiers werenbsp;afraid to go into battle now that Troilus was slain, ^ for theirnbsp;spirit was strong (only) when Troilus was before them, for neithernbsp;fear nor dread used to seize them (when) with him in anynbsp;battle and in any battle-field which he would enter. This wasnbsp;reasonable, for though he was a stripling as regards age, he

was a battle-soldier as regards prowess, he was a chief (?) as regards bounty.

1590. Those, then, are the tidings and the goings and the violent death of the fifth mighty battle-soldier of the wholenbsp;of Adam’s seed, to wit, Troilus.

1592. Then did Hecuba, Priam’s wife, form a crafty, guileful design. She was grieved that her two full-valiant sons had been slain by Achilles without her having taken vengeancenbsp;upon him. Then Alexander was invited to visit her that henbsp;might prepare ambushes for Achilles. Because she would sendnbsp;messengers to Achilles to (invite) him to come to Apollo’snbsp;temple for Polyxena, Priam’s daughter, to be betrothed to him,nbsp;and (also) in order to make peace with Priam. Alexandernbsp;promised that he would fulfil that if Achilles should come intonbsp;the meeting. On that night, then, Alexander himself chose thenbsp;most valiant, most famous soldiers of the Trojans, and gatherednbsp;them to the idol-house of Thymbraean Apollo.

1601. Now when these things ended, Hecuba sent a messenger to summon Achilles. The messenger declared to Achilles that for which he had been sent. That was welcome to Achilles,nbsp;and it seemed long to him till morning, because of (his) lovenbsp;for the maiden. On the morrow, then, Achilles and Antilochus,nbsp;son of Nestor, his fosterbrother, went together to the idol-house,nbsp;even as the messenger had said to them. Then Alexandernbsp;with his people rose out of their ambush and he began tonbsp;encourage the soldiers. So when Achilles and Antilochus beheld that, they cast their garments from them on their leftnbsp;hand, and bared their swords. Thereafter Achilles was frenzied,nbsp;and he inflicted upon the hosts his rage and his wrath, andnbsp;attacked them angrily and manfully; and many thousands ofnbsp;them fell by him, so that of the unreckonable things of thenbsp;‘Destruction’ is what fell by him on that day with the short-sword that lay in his hand. So Alexander came to him, afternbsp;slaying Antilochus, and set many wounds on Achilles. Thennbsp;the Trojans smote him on this side and on that, so that at lastnbsp;he fell by Alexander, after having been long contending and

smiting. Then Alexander ordered Achilles’ body to be oast under dogs and birds and wild beasts. That would have beennbsp;done bad not Helena^ forbidden it. So Achilles’ body wasnbsp;given to the Greeks. Great, in sooth, the grief and the lamentation that were on that night in the leaguer of the Greeks.nbsp;That unto them was not a grief without cause, because theirnbsp;valiant battle-soldier had fallen, and their hurdle (?) of contestnbsp;against their foes, and he that had repelled from them Hectornbsp;and Troilus, and the Trojan leaders, besides, who had laidnbsp;low many thousands of their hosts. Repentance seized themnbsp;for having come at all on the expedition, for their leadersnbsp;and their champions and their kings had fallen. Harder thannbsp;anything they deemed it that Achilles was slain; for if Achillesnbsp;were at their head, they would endure every hurt of battlenbsp;and conflict and combat^ that would befall them.

1628. On that night the kings of the Greeks held a council in order to see unto whom they should give the succession to Achilles. This was their advice, to give it to Ajaxnbsp;son of Telamon, for he was nearest in friendship unto him.nbsp;Then said Ajax son of Telamon that it was meeter for themnbsp;to send to Pyrrhus, to his (Achilles’) own son, who was biding innbsp;the isle of Scyros with Lycomedes, with his grandfather, that is,nbsp;his mother’s father.

also was shooting arrows at the hosts out of a battalion, and laid low great multitudes of Greeks. Then he struck Ajaxnbsp;with an arrow-shot when he was stark-naked in the battleline, and it pierced his side. Then when the fury and ragenbsp;wrought by the wound had entered Ajax, he charged throughnbsp;the battalion to Alexander, and did not take baud from himnbsp;till he slew him and till he destroyed him. Howbeit, Ajax sonnbsp;of Telamon went to his camp and plucked out his arrow, andnbsp;so died forthwith. Then Alexander’s body is borne to the city.nbsp;Then, too, did Diomede rout the Trojans after Alexander hadnbsp;fallen, and he inflicted slaughter upon them as far as the gatesnbsp;of the city. Though there were no lessening (?) of the Trojansnbsp;save the furious attack which Diomede made that day upon them,nbsp;it was enough of slaughter and mortality: for never was therenbsp;anything more horrible than the swift hacking and the swiftnbsp;hewing which he brought upon them up to the gates of thenbsp;city. Then Agamemnon, with Greeks around him, went andnbsp;sat down in the midst of the city, and watched around it untilnbsp;the dawn on the morrow, for there was no one in Troy whonbsp;would give them battle after their good leader Alexander (hadnbsp;fallen).

1658. Great, in sooth, was the grief and the gloom that night in the city of the Trojans, because of the destruction ofnbsp;their goodly king. Sad was the lamentation that men andnbsp;women, both old and young,^ made there. It is then fell thenbsp;champion and last battle-soldier who upheld the warriors ofnbsp;the east of the world. Truly it would bo a sorrow to thenbsp;men of the earth, from sunrise to sunset, the hacking of hisnbsp;body, if they had been acquainted with his appearance; becausenbsp;there was no form like Alexander’s form, both in size andnbsp;beauty and great dignity, both in shape and sense and speech,nbsp;both in teeth and build and raiment, both in hair and beardnbsp;and face, both in manner and wisdom and valour. To contemplate his shape hindered the hosts of the Greeks from

fighting. Over far-off lands there was journeying to hehold him. Yea, the ladies of Greece, who used to gaze upon himnbsp;carrying off the prizes at the assembly of Elis, they cared notnbsp;to look at their own husbands after seeing him in his assembly-raiment. So the fame and delightfulness and renownnbsp;of Alexander spread throughout Asia and throughout the wholenbsp;of Europe. The Trojans, insooth, despised their city, becausenbsp;their hope had perished, and their tress (?) of safeguard, and thenbsp;darling of them all, both men and women. For when he usednbsp;to go into battle’, men and women would close hands uponnbsp;him, lest he should go into danger at all ^ ... Of his brethren,nbsp;there was no crownprince who was bettor than he, both innbsp;form and sense and right (?) of valour.

1679. Howboit, on the morning of the morrow, they, namely, Priam and Hecuba and Helen, went to bury Alexander’snbsp;body, lost he should hate the Trojans, and love the Greeks,nbsp;for the ruin of their (the Trojans’) truth.

1682. On that day, however, Agamemnon gathered the Greeks to the gates of the city, and was challenging the Trojans to come forth from thoir city to fight against him. Priam,nbsp;however, ordered his people to withstand boldly and to keepnbsp;the city until Penthesilea, the queen of the Burnt-paps, shouldnbsp;come with her hosts to work with them and to help them.nbsp;Now when Penthesilea arrived, she set out the battalion on thenbsp;morrow before Agamemnon. Dreadful, then, was the conflict,nbsp;cruel the swording and the slaughtering which each gave thenbsp;other on that stead. Angrily did the armed women delivernbsp;the combat. Most valiant champions of the men of Europenbsp;were defeated in battle.^ Man there yielded his battle-breachnbsp;to woman. Then did Penthesilea contend with the championsnbsp;till she slow each man of them in turn. Almost as numerous (?)nbsp;as drops from a porch in wet weather were the fierce battle-soldiers fallen to the ground through dread of fighting with them

in a duel. The battle-soldiers of the Greeks endured not the exceeding great vehemence and the fury which the woman-champions brought upon them. So they fled as far as thenbsp;camp. Penthosilea with her women inflicted great slaughternbsp;upon them, so that they came into the camp. Then thenbsp;woman-soldier spread her host all round about the camp. Bynbsp;her was burnt a great portion of the ships. Battle was givennbsp;to them (the Greeks) every day in that wise, and they werenbsp;routed, so that they came into the middle of the camp fleeing;nbsp;and it is doubtful (if even) Diomede stood firm alone againstnbsp;her, because the women wore brisker than the men. For whennbsp;the Greeks would uplift their hands for delivering a blow ornbsp;a thrust, the women would raise their shields all round themnbsp;for protection. But when the Greeks carried their shields andnbsp;their bosses for protection and for defence, on the side at whichnbsp;they were (thus) made naked, they were riddled by the women.nbsp;Now when the Greeks endured not tho attacks of the full-valiant women, whose equal or like was not found of the womennbsp;of the world, they went into their camp and closed the gatesnbsp;diligently. And Agamemnon allowed them not to go forth fromnbsp;tho fortress till Menelaus should have come out of Greece.nbsp;Thereafter came Menelaus and Pyrrhus to the leaguer of thenbsp;Greeks; and his father’s armour was given to Pyrrhus, and henbsp;made wailing and handsmiting on his grave, and it was notnbsp;without ground that he did so.

1717. Howbeit, as regards Penthesilea, she came into the battle, as she used to do every day, and went to the gates ofnbsp;the camp. Pyrrhus, moreover, the king of tho Myrmidons,nbsp;arrays his battalion on the other side. Then Agamemnon setnbsp;out the hosts of the rest of the Greeks. They both proceednbsp;before Penthesilea. Then did Pyrrhus inflict an enormousnbsp;slaughter on the Burnt-paps, and he routed them till he camenbsp;to Penthisilea. Then when she came she fought a duel withnbsp;Pyrrhus. So they were biding till the end of the day, eachnbsp;of them smiting the other’s shield, and neither gave a thrustnbsp;on skin(?) to the other. Cruel was the woman’s combat which

Penthesilea fought there, namely, a conflict with the hero who was mightiest in the east of the world and who had slain greatnbsp;multitudes of the hosts.

1729. One day (however) Penthesilea gave a thrust to Pyrrhus and wounded him roughly. Then the anger and furynbsp;wrought by the wound entered Pyrrhus so that, in attackingnbsp;Penthesilea, he knew neither dread nor fear. They fight a duel.nbsp;Manly, then, was this conflict. Ilowheit Pyrrhus’ valour wasnbsp;(the) mightier. Penthesilea fell in the duel.

1734. Now after the fall of the queen, the Burnt-paps and the Trojans were routed, and Pyrrhus and Diomede set a greatnbsp;slaughter upon them, so that they reached the gates of the city.nbsp;After this, the Greeks close round the city, and the battle isnbsp;fought all round about it.

1738. So when the kings and leaders of the Trojans beheld the hosts outside, and (saw) that they were around the city,nbsp;they went to have speech of Priam. These were the leadersnbsp;that came there, to wit, Antenor and Polydamas and Aeneas.nbsp;To take counsel then they came, to know what they should donbsp;against the mighty hosts that had attacked (?) then. All hisnbsp;leaders were summoned to Priam, and he asked them whatnbsp;they wished to do. Then said Antenor to them. „It is anbsp;mockery for you,“ saith he, „to fight against the Greeks, fornbsp;your soldiers have died, your heroes have been laid low, yournbsp;leaders have fallen: Priam’s sons have been slain, and everynbsp;one who came out of the foreign lands to help you. Howbeit,nbsp;the loaders of the Greeks remain, to wit, Menelaus and Pyrrhusnbsp;son of Achilles, who is not weaker than his father, and Diomede, and Lociian Ajax and Nestor and Ulysses. Now ye havenbsp;been forced into the city, and the gates of the city have beennbsp;shut upon you. This, then, is good for you,“ saith he: „letnbsp;Helen be given up by you to the Greeks, and the booty, besides, that Alexander brought from the island Cythera. Thennbsp;the Greeks will go to their home with peace and good will.“

1754. When they had been for a while proceeding to make peace, Amphimachus the son of Priam rose in the as-

sembly; a very mighty youth was he; and he spake words there to Antenor and to those who were at one^ with him.nbsp;„It were meeter for you/‘ saith he, „that you should spur onnbsp;the host and go before them to fight against our foes on behalf of your country and your fatherland and your city.“ Afternbsp;Amphimachus had completed these words, Aeneas son of An-chises arose and uttered a gentle answer to Amphimachus.nbsp;„My son,quot; saith he, „better were peace and goodwill than unpeace and quarrelling.quot;

1764. Then Priam himself arose and said; „Who are you, indeed,quot; saith he, „a-seeking peace and quiet? It is through younbsp;hath come every evil that hath been done here. Ye were thenbsp;loaders whom I sent to the Greeks. I sent one of the twain tonbsp;demand my sister for me from the kings of the Greeks. Whennbsp;he came back with disgrace and refusal from all the kings ofnbsp;the Greeks he was persuading and pressing us (?) to delivernbsp;battle to the Greeks. Oh! comrades, moreover, it is he, togethernbsp;with Alexander, that wrecked the island Cythera, and broughtnbsp;thereout Helen and the booty besides. Therefore the peace isnbsp;not to be sought for^ by you. Let your mind, however, benbsp;towards this, that you may be* ready when the trumpet shallnbsp;sound — going to the gates to give fierce, hard battle to thenbsp;Greeks — to rout your enemies or to die yourselves!quot;

1777. Now when the utterance of these words had ended every one went home. So Priam entered the palace and hisnbsp;son was called to him, to wit, Amphimachus, and he saidnbsp;to him „I fear,quot; saith he, „that the folk who are enjoiningnbsp;the peace will betray the city. Wherefore it is right to slaynbsp;them before they finish that design.quot; He was certain that unless the city was betrayed be would be victorious in battle overnbsp;his enemies, and would put them to flight. This is the counselnbsp;that Priam formed: his most valiant soldiers were collected

by him to do the deed before the councillors should complete the betrayal of the city. Then Amphimachus promised thatnbsp;he would do what Priam had ordered him. „Let a great banquetnbsp;be made by us,“ saith he, „and let the leaders be summonednbsp;to consume the feast. I will collect soldiers to . . . upon them.“

1789. Now as regards the leaders, to wit, Antenor and Polydamas and Ucalegon and Amphidamas, when they hadnbsp;dispersed out of the assembly they went on till they werenbsp;conversing together,^nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;and each of themnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;complained tonbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the

other of his nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;trouble.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;They were grievednbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;at what Priamnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;had

said, for he would rather have his own destruction and the destruction of his city and the fatherland than peace with thenbsp;Greeks. Then said Antenor, „I had a counsel for you“, saithnbsp;he, „and your profit would come therefrom unless I am afraidnbsp;to utter it.“nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;„Delivernbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;it in sooth,quot; say thenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;other leaders, „and

‘the end of nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the storynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;will not go from usnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;over a house’;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;and

whatever be the advice that thou shalt deliver we will fulfil it for thee.quot; „Let us send,quot; said Antenor, „first to Aeneas, thatnbsp;he may be along with us in the council.quot; Then Aeneas camenbsp;to them and asked them, „what advice are you willing to give?quot;nbsp;saith Aeneas. „This is our counsel,quot; saith Antenor, „if thou artnbsp;in union with us, that one of us should go to the Greeks tonbsp;have speech of Agamemnon and the worthies of the Greeksnbsp;besides, that securities and guarantees be given to us for thenbsp;complete protection of our people on account of betraying ournbsp;city, and forfeiting our fatherland, and making bettor knownnbsp;to the Greeks the way to Priam’s palace.quot;^ Every one praisednbsp;that counsel. Then Polydamas was sent from them to getnbsp;speech of Agamemnon, for he (Polydamas) it was whose liability to the Greeks was least; and he declared to Agamemnonnbsp;his embassage diligently. Then the kings of the Greeks werenbsp;summoned into one assembly to Agamemnon, and he declarednbsp;to them what Polydamas had come for, namely, to betray Troynbsp;for the sake of peace and friendship to (the traitors) themselves.

1812. Thereafter, then, Agamemnon asked of the kings what they should do unto the traitors, whether they shouldnbsp;give sureties to them or should not give. Ulysses and Nestornbsp;said there was no truth in Poly damns, but that he had comenbsp;guilefully. As to Pyrrhus, however, he did not at all rejectnbsp;Polydamas’ story. ^ So when Polydamas had certified them thatnbsp;he had not come to tell them a falsehood the Greeks askednbsp;him for a signal. Polydamas said: „Even though in this hour,nbsp;before I go, ye shall fare unto Troy, Aeneas and Antenor willnbsp;open the gates of the city before you.“ Then the leaders ofnbsp;the Greeks said that if they should see the signal, to wit,nbsp;candles lit to make (things) manifest to them, and if theynbsp;should hear the voice of Aeneas and Antenor, they wouldnbsp;perform^ their oath to the betrayers, that is, to protect Antenor and Ucalegon and Polydamas and Aeneas and Anchises,nbsp;with their wives and sons and daughters, with their cousinsnbsp;and relatives by marriage and companions, and with their kinsfolk besides.

1827. Now when they had settled their pledges, Polydamas led them® to the city, that is, to the gate which is namednbsp;Scaea. There, then, they found a signal of their signals, tonbsp;wit, the head of a white horse in the border over the gate.

1831. Then came the betrayers, to wit, Aeneas son of Anchises and Antenor, to meet the Greeks. As to Priam, however, he had everything prepared and ready to slay the betrayersnbsp;and to fight for the city. Then the chief traitors gathered theirnbsp;households and their comrades and their friends to the gate atnbsp;which they had set a signal for the Greeks, so that there theynbsp;were biding about the gate on this side and on that. Thereafter came the Greeks to the gate which is named Scaea. Thenbsp;betrayers opened the gate and lit the lights against the facesnbsp;of their friends and their companions and let them into the city.

1840. Tltese, then, are the leaders whom they let in, to wit, Pyrrhus son of Achilles in the van, and Diomede and Mene-lans son of Atreus, and other leaders besides. Pyrrhus, however,nbsp;it is he that was protecting all the household of the folk thatnbsp;betrayed the city. Now Antenor was leader before the troopsnbsp;and the hosting of the Greeks unto the citadel and the royalnbsp;apartment and royal palace of Priam, a place wherein werenbsp;biding the choice of all the leaders of the Trojans. It seemednbsp;to thee that the earth would fall under their feet because ofnbsp;the mightiness of the pride which they brought and the greatness of the wrath. Then, in sooth, did Pyrrhus son of Achillesnbsp;wreak his fury and his wrath and his enmity on the Trojans.nbsp;Multitudes of them fell that night by his hand. There, then,nbsp;fell Panthus son of Euphorbus, chief speaker of all the Trojansnbsp;after Antenor. There, also, fell Choroebus, the husband ofnbsp;Cassandra daughter of Priam. A stripling was he and a champion and a spearpoint of battle of the north-east of the world.nbsp;It was not more than a week after the warrior came till Cassandra was betrothed to him. Cassandra did not at all desirenbsp;to be defiled,^ but she preferi’ed to abide in maidenhood andnbsp;in chastity. Then Pyrrhus son of Achilles, the battle-soldier,nbsp;remained standing before Priam’s citadel, with a two-edgednbsp;axe in his hand, and then there was a gate that was thenbsp;fairest and heautifullest in the world, from the various carving ofnbsp;eveiy land, with a border of gold and silver and precious stone.

1860. Then the soldiers who were in Priam’s palace divided themselves. A troop of them they put into the doorway of thenbsp;court. These began to resist Pyrrhus and the rest of the heroes.nbsp;The others, however, went on the palisades and mounds and sconces (?) of the citadel, and began to cast mightily at the hosts innbsp;such wise that they hurled together on them the spears andnbsp;the swords and the shields and the arrows and the rocks of thenbsp;stones under foot, and the beams and planks and roofs andnbsp;poles of the balconies and the plank-houses. Then they broke

the pinnacles of the archways and flung them against the Greeks, so that in that wise they laid low many thousands of thenbsp;hosts. Moreover the people of the city arose, terribly andnbsp;fearfully, furiously and hastily. Now they had no way of flight,nbsp;for the Greeks had filled the streets and causeways and crossroads of the city. So there was one 'cry throughout Troy.nbsp;Alike were the soldiers crying and the champions howling andnbsp;the clowns bellowing and the women wailing and the childrennbsp;screaming. Howbeit, as regards Priam’s citadel, the valiantnbsp;heroes of the Trojans began to defend it and to protect it.nbsp;Because there lay the best of the gold and silver, the jewelsnbsp;and treasures of the Trojans. Howbeit, Pyrrhus son of Achillesnbsp;began cutting and hewing the door-valve so that he himselfnbsp;with his shield passed through the middle of it. Then he putnbsp;to flight ^ the Trojans who were fortifying their gateway.nbsp;Reasonable was this, for Pyrrhus son of Achilles, of whomnbsp;there is commemoration here, was, after the valiant folk thatnbsp;had fallen at^ this Destruction, chief of valour of the men ofnbsp;the world.

1884. After the door (?) had been broken by Pyrrhus, and after the defenders who were biding in the gateway hadnbsp;been put to flight,® he entered the royal house and slewnbsp;Priam’s son before his face. Priam made a cast of a spearnbsp;at him, in such wise that it went past him, because henbsp;(Priam) was then a feeble old man. Pyrrhus hurled a castnbsp;at Priam, so that it went into him, and he dragged him forward into the room and cut off his head at Minerva’s altar.nbsp;On one road, however, fared Hecuba and Polyxena. Then Aeneasnbsp;ran to meet Polyxena. Howbeit Hecuba gave him full possession of the girl in return for protecting her. Aeneas then hidnbsp;her under the safeguard of his father Anchises. Howbeit Andromache, Hector’s wife, and Cassandra, Priam’s daughter, wentnbsp;and laid themselves down on Minerva’s altar.

1895. Now until the white of the morning, there was no pause to the devastation and the ruin of the city. The citynbsp;was burnt, so that it was in (?) a fringe of fire and undernbsp;vapour of smoke. Badb bellowed and roared above it. Demonsnbsp;of the air shouted above . . .; for pleasant it was to them thatnbsp;slaughter should befall Adam’s seed, because that was an increase to their (the demons’) household. Great then were thenbsp;turmoil and the . . . that were in Troy on that night. Therenbsp;was trembling on the teeth of the weak. The blood of thenbsp;soldiers was poured forth. The old men wailed, the infantsnbsp;cried, the grown-up girls lamented. Multitudes of noble, wellborn women were misused there, and the widows’ tresses werenbsp;loosened, and the hosts were slain. The city was devastatednbsp;and ruined and swept away.^

1907. Now when daylight came on the morrow the kings of the Greeks came together into one council, and gave thanksnbsp;to their gods and to their idols. Agamemnon praised the hosts,nbsp;and then it was proclaimed by him that all the prey of thenbsp;city should be brought to one place; and he made a rightnbsp;division unto the hosts, according to their ranks and accordingnbsp;to their just grades. Then the kings held a council to seenbsp;what they should do to the betrayers, whether freedom shouldnbsp;be given to them or should not be given. All the hosts shouted, and this is what they said, that freedom and peace benbsp;given to the folk that had forsaken their fatherland and theirnbsp;city. Whatever, then, the hosts had taken of their men andnbsp;cattle, of their jewels and treasures, all was given (back) tonbsp;them, and protection was granted to them together with theirnbsp;friends and comrades and foster-brothers and with all thatnbsp;they possessed.

1919. Then did Antenor beseech Agamemnon that he might be allowed to say a few words to him. Agamemnon gavenbsp;permission to him (Antenor). Antenor fell on his knees andnbsp;bent them thrice in presence of Agamemnon, and said to him:

„Helena and Cassandraquot;, saitli he, „stand in danger and in peril because of (their) great fear. What does it seem to younbsp;just to do unto them? It would at this time be just for younbsp;to protect them, because of the favourable intercession andnbsp;prophecy which Cassandra used to make for you, and becausenbsp;of the persuasion which Helen made as to delivering the bodynbsp;of Achilles to be buried in the camp, notwithstanding the outrage (proposed by) Alexander.quot; Then Agamemnon granted freedom to those two, namely to Cassandra and to Helen. Then,nbsp;too, Cassandra begged a boon on behalf of her mother Hecubanbsp;and on behalf of the wife of Hector son of Priam, to wit, Andromache, and related to Agamemnon how those two loved himnbsp;greatly and used to speak well^ of him in his absence. Agamemnon left^ that to the kings. This is what was settled®nbsp;by them, (to give) their freedom to those twain. Whatevernbsp;human beings besides those, and (whatever) riches, were foundnbsp;there Agamemnon distributed to the host. Then Agamemnonnbsp;gave thanks to the gods.

1935. On the fifth day afterwards all the hosts assembled in one meeting to determine what day they would set out tonbsp;their country and their own land.

1940. Storms arose against them, so that the sea was not fit for voyaging by them. So for many days they stayednbsp;in the city. Then Calchas answered that the gods were notnbsp;satisfied with them.'* Then it came into the mind of Pyrrhus . . .

768. congancnes. So in LU. 77 nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;24: ar ha conganchnes oc comruc fri

fer hoi la Loch. 0’Clery explains the word by cneas no cum cndniha. With congan, congna (gl. cornu) is cognate.

776. atchondcammar, atcJiondcatar 1607, 6'tchonncatar 1147, root cas. Windisch is doubtless right in holding that the first two syllablesnbsp;are due to the analogy of atchondarc (3 d sg. -dairc 840), R. dare.

782. comaithihh, a scribe’s mistake for comaithchibh 1219.

797. afhehomaire gen. sg. of athchomarc ‘interrogatio’.

810. ro-oéthig seems the 3d sg. pret. of the verb of which óithigud, 1035, is the infinitive. The meaning must be either ‘diminished’nbsp;or ‘ceased’, and the verb is possibly cognate with navto, paulus,nbsp;favai, few, with which Ir. liathed (dat. sg. uathiud 1072), has beennbsp;connected.

817. tóichléori, cf. tóicliell journey?

Notes.

droch-tlmih seems a mistake for clroch-thut, as defhaig (iu the same line) for detaig. Cf. tutt nan-edpart, LB. 189 tut ‘stink’, 0’R.nbsp;onchon gen. sg., onchoin, 1079, n. jol. of oncJm 1. a leopard, 2. anbsp;banner (Liebrecbt compares the low-latin draco étendard de lanbsp;cohorte), 3. some kind of warrior, 4. a proper name. If onclmnbsp;be (as I conjecture) borrowed from fr. onceau (dim. of once = ly-ncem) the h is due to the analogy of compounds with cm ‘hound’.nbsp;maedacht here, as in 1904, is not declined.

ermaisi ‘hitting’, ‘striking’; cf. dat. sg. ho ermaissiu firinne, Z®. 1043. cf. also the verb ni anad con-ermaised in uball, LL. 125“.nbsp;1868. sluag-dorus ‘archway’.

16C0. ro-chalma, ro-testamla. Here ro gives the force of a superlative.

1623. do-r-as-cratar (sg. 3 doroscair 1642) seems a redupl. perfect. 3d sg. redupl. 2 dy fut. no-thascérad 852 , 3d pi. tascertais 1466,nbsp;s-pret. rothascair 1076, 3d pi. rothascairset 1859, pass. pret. pi. 3nbsp;rotascrait 1746. infin. tascrad 1223.

Carlsruher Codex der Soliloquia des S. Augustinus.

A. Holder hat sich ein neues Verdienst um die Celtologie erworben, indem er zuerst die bier berausgegebeneii Glossen innbsp;einer Karlsruher Handschrift der Soliloquia des Augustinus ent-deckte. Er hatte die Giite mir eine Abschrift zuzusenden, undnbsp;wenn man auch irische Glossen nicht auf Grand einer frem-den Abschrift herausgeben kann, so gab mir die seinige dochnbsp;einen willkommenen Anhalt, als ich das werthvolle Ms. mitnbsp;Musse auf der Leipziger Universitatsbihliothek durchsuchen undnbsp;das fiir uns Werthvolle daraus abschreiben konnte. Wiederholte Vergleichungen haben mir bewiesen, dass ich Nichts iiber-sehen babe. Auch Whitley Stokes, der den Codex in Leipzignbsp;sah, konnte nicht mehr entdecken; doch verdanke ich ihm dienbsp;Erganzung von Zanamnasa in Gl. 34 und die richtige Lesungnbsp;von Gl. 58.

Der Codex hat die Nummer CXCV. Auf dem Deckel ist ein Stiickchen Pergament aufgeklebt mit der in Abkiirzungennbsp;geschriebenen Angabe:

Tros lihri Soliloquiorum Augustini Augustinus ad Dardanum de praesentia Dei.

Auf dem 1. Blatt des eigentlichen Codex steht unten unter der ersten Columne: ‘Liber Augie maioris’, der Codex stammtnbsp;also aus Reichenau. Mehrore Blatter sind Palimpsest, so fo. 7,nbsp;auf dem man die friihere Uncialschrift noch besonders deutlichnbsp;sehen kann. Der Holzdeckel war im Innern vorn und ebensonbsp;hinten mit einem theilweise beschriebenen Pergamentblatte he-klebt. Diese beiden Blatter sind jetzt abgelöst und in dernbsp;Pagination mitgezahlt worden. Das vorn befindliche derselbennbsp;ist stark verblichen, und enthielt urspriinglich nur Lateinisch,nbsp;aber auf der 1. Columne sind, wie mir scheint in dor Hand

J-

Altirische Glossen

des Codex, 24 Zeilen neu darüber geschrieben, und diese ent-halten im Text aucli einige irische Worte. Das hinten abge-löste Blatt (paginirt 47), ist zwar in sehr alter Hand, entbalt aber kein Irisch. Es beginnt (vgl. Mone, Lat. Hy. 11 p. 383):nbsp;‘Cantemns in omni die concinnantes uarisenbsp;conclamantes deo dignum ymnum Sanctse Marise’.

Fast alle Glossen finden sich in dem Haupttexte des Codex, den Soliloquia S. Augustini, deren 1. Bucb fo. 2 mit den Wortennbsp;beginnt ‘Uoluenti mihi multa et uaria naecum diu’. Das erstenbsp;Buch eudet fo. O’', col. 1, das zweite Bucb endet fo. 17'quot;, col. 1,¹nbsp;das dritte Bucb mit dem Specialtitel ‘de quantitate animae’nbsp;endet fol. 39'quot;, col. 1. leb gebe den lateiniscben Text, wie ernbsp;im Ms. stebt, benutzte aber die Ausgabe der Benedictiner (ac-curante Migne): S. Aurelii Augustini Hipponensis Episcopi Operanbsp;omnia, Tom. Primus, Parisiis 1841, Bucb 1 und 2 pp. 869 bisnbsp;904, Bucb 3 (in dieser Ausgabe besonders gestellt) pp. 1035nbsp;bis 1080. Der gedruckte Text von Buch 3 bat als Unterrednernbsp;E. (Evodius) und A. (Augustinus), unser Codex wie in dennbsp;beiden ersten Büchern A. (Augustinus) und R. (Ratio). Aufnbsp;fo. 39quot; und 40quot;quot; steben versebiedene Textstücke, zum Theil vonnbsp;verschiedener Hand. Fo. 40quot; beginnt ‘Liber Sancti Augustininbsp;Aurelii de presentia Dei ad Dardanum’, in der Benedictinernbsp;Ausgabe Tom. H p. 832 (als Epistola CLXXXYH). Fo. 42nbsp;geht bis ‘cum corporea rés sit ac transitoria’ (§ 19 der Ausgabe), dann fehlen die Worte ‘surdus non capit, surdaster nonnbsp;totum’, aber mit ‘capit atque in hls qui audiunt’ setzt das falschnbsp;gebundene fo. 35 ein und der Text wird dann fortgefübrtnbsp;fo. 36quot;, col. 1 bis zu den Worten ‘per patientiam expectamus.nbsp;multa itaque dicuntur’ u. s. w., § 27 der Ausgabe, womit unser

Zwischen dom 2. und 3. Buch steht, ungefahr eine Columne lang, eine Art Nachwort zu den beiden ersten Büchern der Soliloquia, das ichnbsp;in Migne’s Ausgabe nicht linde. Es beginnt ‘Quaedam huius operia innbsp;libro Retractationum quae ita sé habent correcta sunt’, und endet ‘. . innbsp;libro duodecimo de Trinitato deserui.

Codex in diesem Texte abbricht. Auf fo. 36 b col. 2, stebt ein Stiick Latein, dessen Schrift der auf dem letzten, vom Deckelnbsp;abgelösten Blatte ahnlich ist, es beginnt ‘Octo sunt principalianbsp;uitia’. Auf fo. 36'' ist das erste Stiick der ersten Columnenbsp;leer, dann scheinen Excerpte aus verschiedenen Kirchenvaternnbsp;zu folgen, der Anfang lautet: ‘Ag. (= Augustinus) Nulli du-bium est non secundum corpus neque secundum quamlibet partem animae sed secundum rationalem mentem ubi potest agnitionbsp;dei hominem factum ad imaginem eius qui creavit eum’. Eo. 43 =¦nbsp;ist Fortsetzung von 36'', auf col. 2 sind nur 12 Zeilen ge-schrieben. Auf fo. 43'', col. 1 stehen vier Zeilen Latein, dernbsp;Rest ist frei, ebenso das ganze fo. 44. Fo. 45 und 46 sind innbsp;kleinem Format, ohne Columnenabtheilung; die Schrift ist irisch,nbsp;der Text lateinische Hymnen'¹', ein Credo und ein letztes Stiicknbsp;in Prosa, das mit den Worten beginnt: ‘Maioris culpae manifeste quam occulte peccare’.

Die Glossen sind theils Marginal-, theils Interlinearglossen. Sie sind oft blasser als der Text, weil sie kleiner, also mitnbsp;weniger Tinte geschrieben sind. Wahrsoheinlich sind sie vomnbsp;Schreiber des Textes selbst zugefiigt worden, wenigstens lasstnbsp;sich nicht der zwingende Beweis vom Gegentheil fiihren. Dienbsp;meisten Glossen sind gut und scharf geschrieben. Einige scheinen gleichzeitig mit dem Texte, die meisten spater eingetragennbsp;zu sein (vgl. z. B. fo. 18'', col. 1, lin. 16). Fo. 13b col. 2,nbsp;lin. 4 ist eine lateinische Glosse mit demselben Roth dariibernbsp;geschrieben, mit welchem im Texte die Buchstaben A. und R.

Diese Hymnen ha.be ich nur zum Theil bei Mone gefunden, der diese Handschrift bei dem letzten Hymnus erwahnt und sie daselbstnbsp;dem 9- Jahrh. zuweist, Lat. Hy. I p. 390. Die Anfange der Hymnennbsp;sind: Aurora lucis rutulat (Mone I p. 190); Martyr Dei qui unicus; Rexnbsp;gloriose martyrum (Mone III p. 143); Aeterna Christi munera (Mone IIInbsp;p. 143, jedoch mit einigen Zeilen weniger); Sanctorum meritis inclitanbsp;gaudia . pangaraus socii gestaque fortia; lesu corona uirginum . quemnbsp;mater illa concepit; Uirginis proles opifexque matris; Summe confessornbsp;sacer et sacerdos (Mone III p. 330); lam surgit hora tertia; Ad caelinbsp;clara . non sum dignus sidera . levare meos . infelioes oculos (Mone Inbsp;p. 387).

Altirische Glossen

(s. oben) bervorgehoben sind. Andrerseits sehen bisweilen die Correcturen wie von aiiderer Hand aus, z. B. fo. 15% col. 1,nbsp;liii. 10 V. u. Die Schrift des Textes ist sehr scbön, sie abneltnbsp;von den beiden anderen Carlsruher Glossenhandschriften beson-ders der des Priscian und erinnert Stokes an die des Book ofnbsp;Armagh. Die Abkiirzungen sind wie in den anderen altirischennbsp;Glossenhandschriften; die fiir ar, die schon in den alterennbsp;mittelirischen Mss. iiblich ist, kommt hier noch nicht vor. Dienbsp;Sprachformen sind altirisch. Ich glaube daher, dass Holder’snbsp;und Mone’s Taxirung, der Codex stamme aus saec. IX, richtignbsp;ist. Die Glossen sind theils lateinisch, theils irisch, nur dienbsp;letzteren werden hier veröffentlicht. Wo ich im Lateinischen dienbsp;Praposition mit dein folgenden Casus und andere Verbindungennbsp;zusammengeschrieben habe, ist es sicher auch so im Ms. Imnbsp;Grundtext deute ich die Abkiirzungen des Ms. nicht an, wohlnbsp;aber iiberall in den Glossen (durch Druck des Erganzten innbsp;anderen Typen).

3. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Die Glosse ani „das was“ ist zugefügt, um anzugeben, dassnbsp;quod hier das Pronomen und nicht die Conjunction ist.

Anmerkungen.

4. cair glossiert Wb, S'), 11 numquid, und wird 0’Dav. p. 64 durch cinnas „wie“ erklart, in 0’Donovan’s Supplement zu O’Reilly durchnbsp;„quere“, d. i. quaere, dazu ebenda die Glosse eair A. comarcim (ichnbsp;frage). — 5. „er thue“, 3. Sg. Conj. Praes. — 6. „nach diesem“. —nbsp;7. „von jedem beliebigen Theile aus“, zu sechi, sechih vgl. Z.^ 717.

8. Die Prap. ó „von . . aus“ ist noclimals über a medio wieder-holt. — 9. „ich habe erkannt“, 1. Sg. Perf. Act. von itar-gninim, vgl. Gl. 16. — 10. „[nach dem] Ort, den ich erstrebte“, 1. Sg. des Praes.nbsp;sec. Act. von ad-cosnaim, W. san, skr. sanoti erwerben, gewinnen.

Gl. 9. Das Prasens itar-gninim (s. den Index von Güt. und Thurn.)nbsp;ist eine wichtige Form, denn es geht auf ein *gna-na-mi zurück, undnbsp;hat somit die Wurzelsilbe hesser bewahrt als skr. ja-na-mi.

17. „Zweierlei woraus die Erkenntniss entsteht, aus dem Erkennen-den und einem erkennbaren Dinge“. — 18. „wie es am starksten ist“ (wörtlich: die Grosse welche stark ist), vgl. Gl. 98. — 19. „Die Sinnenbsp;tauschen die Seele nichtquot;, vgl. dieselbe Redensart in meinem Wörter-buch, s. V. dorat. Für die Worte nihil — agente hat die Ausgabe:nbsp;si nihil quidem valent ad fallendum, non tarnen nihil ad nonambi-gendum.

20. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;„Die Postulate oben, die wir angeführt habenquot;. Voraus gehtnbsp;im lateinischen Texte: Ergo quomodo in hoe sole tria quaedam licetnbsp;animadvertere, quod est, quod fulget, quod illuminat; ita in illo secre-tissimo Deo quem vis intelligere, tria quaedam sunt; quod est, quod in-telligitur, et quod caetera facit intelligi.

Anmerkungen.

28. „Wenn es auch der Nachkommenschaft wegen ist, dass os Jemand thut, und nicht mehr aus Lust“: dagné ist 3. Sg. Conj. Praes. mit Pron.nbsp;infix, a; is mó steht im Sinne von magis oder potius.

29. „Es sind dies diejenigen, die du zugegeben hast“: für adro-marsu ist adro[d]marsu oder adro[da]marsu zu lesen, 2. Sg. Perf. Dep. zu ad-damim, zusammengezogen atmaim (vgl. Gl. 48) oder ataimim,nbsp;s. mein Wtb. s. v. ad-daimim. — 30. „entgegengebracht“, Part.

Die Ausgabe hat exhausta, undnbsp;dies ist wohl auch mit dem excausta der Handschrift gemeint.

32. „ich werde geheinmt“, 1. Sg. Praes. Pass. (gebildet durch die 3. Sg. mit Pron. infix, der 1.

Ich habe in meinemnbsp;Wörterbuch S. 853 tuar-gabim als do-fo-ar-gabim erklart, bestimmtnbsp;durch mittelirische Formen wie do-füar-gaib. Allein ich glaube jetztnbsp;mit Zeuss (p. 884), dass nur die zwei Prapositionen do-for- darin ent-halten sind. Vielleicht liegt in tuar- für do-for- eine letzte Spur desnbsp;einst zweisilbigen *upar vor, dessen u in der Verbindung mit dem vo-calischen Auslaut einer vorausgehenden Praposition nicht in f überzu-geben brauchte. Das f in dem mittelirischen do-fuar- ist das secundarenbsp;prothetische.

39. „sorglos“, Nom. PI. zu dem Acc. Sing, irmais dééd Wb. 25^, 14, Gen. Sg. in geno deeid Ml. 82'quot; (Z.® 364. 1003, vgl. den Index, von G.nbsp;und Th.), aber deedi ist i-Declination, vgl. maifh gut. Gen. Sg. maith,nbsp;Nom.

57. „wir riechen“.

58. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Ich habe hier noch wahrend der Correctur mein ursprünglichesnbsp;-scithigfar hergestellt. Stokes las -soithigfar, allein im Altirischen würdenbsp;in letzterem Worte nicht sóifh, sondern sdith zu erwarten sein. Dagegennbsp;schliesst sich niconscithigfar „ich werde nicht erraüdenquot; ohne Schwierig-keit an scithech „müde“ an.

Diesenbsp;Glosse ist im Zusammenhang unübersetzbar; ni moa entspricht demnbsp;„non magis“, adcosnat hete ist wohl „tendunt esse“ (vgl. ni cumcat hetenbsp;non possunt esse Z.^ 495), innahi könnte dem talia qualia entsprechen,nbsp;frisairet „sie wachen“ entspricht dem „vigilantesquot;.

66. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;ni cuming „er kann nichtquot;, arunméitse (so auch von Stokesnbsp;gelesen) scheint dem tam des Textes zu entsprechen, vgl. mméttse Gl.nbsp;zu tantum enim SG. 7», 9, inméitso Gl. zu tanto SG. 1», 3.— 67. „Schau-spielerquot;.

78. „Du müsstest denn behaupten, dass ihr der Name Seele ist, auch wenn sie stirbtquot;. Die Bedeutung „gewissquot; (vgl. mein Wtb. undnbsp;Stokes, Remarks^ p. 59) für bés passt hier nicht, es entspricht hier demnbsp;lat. forte. — 79. „Sie ist nicht Seele, wenn sie stirbtquot;. — 80. „Du er-stickstquot;.
