ταῦτα δὴ ἀξιοῦντος Ἕκτορος ἑλέσθαι τὸν Αἰνείαν, τὰ μὲν ἐκείνῳ χαριζόμενον, τὰ δὲ ἐλπίζοντα μειζόνων τεύξεσθαι· οὕτως δὴ τὴν ἀποικίαν γενέσθαι ἀπὸ ἰσχύος καὶ φρονήματος ὑπό τε ἀνθρώπων εὐτυχούντων παραχρῆμά τε δυνηθῆναι καὶ εἰς αὖθις. ὁρῶντα δὲ Ἀντήνορα Αἰνείαν στελλόμενον καὶ αὐτὸν ἐπιθυμῆσαι Εὐρώπης ἐπάρξαι, καὶ γενέσθαι στόλον ἄλλον τοιοῦτον. πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ἐγκαλοῦντα Ἕλενον ὡς ἐλαττούμενον Δηιφόβου δεηθῆναι τοῦ πατρός, καὶ λαβόντα ναῦς καὶ στρατιὰν ὡς ἐφʼ ἕτοιμον τὴν Ἑλλάδα πλεῦσαι καὶ κατασχεῖν ὅλην τὴν ἔκσπονδον.
