τῶν δὲ νεῶν αἱ μέν τινες ὑφώρμουν ὑπὸ τὸ τεῖχος, αἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ πέραν ἔμενον· ἅτε γὰρ οὐδεμίαν ἐλπίδα ἔχοντες κρατήσειν, ἀλλʼ ὁμολογιῶν δεόμενοι, καθάπερ εἶπον, οὐ βεβαίως ἐπολέμουν, ἀλλʼ ἀμφιβόλως τρόπον τινὰ καὶ πρὸς ἀπόπλουν μᾶλλον τὴν γνώμην ἔχοντες. ἐνέδραις οὖν ὡς τὸ πολὺ καὶ καταδρομαῖς ἐχρῶντο. καὶ ποτε μάχης ἰσχυροτέρας γενομένης, βιαζομένων αὐτῶν τὸ φρούριον ἐξελεῖν, Αἴας τε ὑπὸ Ἕκτορος ἀποθνήσκει καὶ Ἀντίλοχος ὑπὸ τοῦ Μέμνονος πρὸ τοῦ πατρός·
