πρὸς δὲ τούτοις Ἀστυάνακτα μὲν ἀνδρὸς ἀγαθοῦ παῖδα οὕτως ὠμῶς ἀνελεῖν ῥίψαντας ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους, καὶ ταῦτα κοινῇ δόξαν τῷστρατοπέδῳ καὶ τοῖς βασιλεῦσι· Πολυξένην δὲ παρθένον ἀποσφάττειν ἐπὶ τάφῳ καὶ τοιαύτας χεῖσθαι χοὰς τῷ τῆς θεᾶς υἱεῖ· Κασσάνδραν δέ, παναγῆ κόρην, ἱέρειαν τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος, ἐν τῷ τεμένει φθαρῆναι τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς, ἐχομένην τοῦ ἀγάλματος, καὶ τοῦτο πρᾶξαι μηδένα τῶν φαύλων μηδὲ τῶν ἀναξίων, ἀλλʼ ὅσπερ ἦν ἐν τοῖς ἀρίστοις·
