ἅμα δὲ τῆ ἡμέρᾳ φανεροῦ γενομένου τοῦ πράγματος, ὁ μὲν Ἕκτωρ ἠγανάκτει καὶ βαρέως ἔφερε καὶ τὸν Ἀλέξανδρον ἐλοιδόρει· τοὺς γὰρ πολεμίους αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ἀφεῖναι· τὰς δὲ σκηνὰς ἐνέπρησαν οἱ Τρῶες καὶ διήρπαζον τὰ καταλειφθέντα. τοῖς δὲ Ἀχαιοῖς ἐν τῷ ἀσφαλεῖ βουλευομένοις· οὐ γὰρ εἶχον οἱ περὶ τὸν Ἕκτορα ναυτικὸν ἕτοιμον, ὥστε διαβαίνειν ἐπʼ αὐτούς· ἐδόκει μὲν ἀπιέναι πᾶσι, πολλοῦ πλήθους ἀπολωλότος καὶ τῶν ἀρίστων ἀνδρῶν· κίνδυνος δὲ ἦν μὴ ναῦς ποιησάμενοι παραχρῆμα ἐπιπλεύσωσιν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα.
