ὁ δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος μετὰ τοῦ Ἕκτορος τὸν μὲν ὄχλον συνῆγεν ἅπαντα τὸν ἐκ τῆς χώρας εἰς τὸ ἄστυ, τὰσδὲ μικρὰς πόλεις εἴων τὰς πρὸς τῇ θαλάττῃ διὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι πανταχοῦ βοηθεῖν. πάλιν δὲ καταπλεύσαντες εἰς τὸν Ἀχαιῶν λιμένα νυκτὸς ἔλαθον ἀποβάντες, καὶ ναύσταθμον περιεβάλοντο καὶ τάφρον ὤρυξαν φοβούμενοι τὸν Ἕκτορα καὶ τοὺς Τρῶας, καὶ μᾶλλον ὡς αὐτοὶ πολιορκησόμενοι παρεσκευάζοντο.
