ὅθεν Αἰνείαν τε οὕτως ἐπελθὼν ὀλίγου ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τῇ Ἴδῃ καὶ πολλοὺς ἄλλους κατὰ τὴν χώραν, καὶ τῶν φρουρίων ᾕρει τὰ κακῶς φυλαττόμενα· οὐδὲ γὰρ τῆς γῆς ἐπεκράτουν οἱ Ἀχαιοὶ ἀλλʼ ἢ μόνον τοῦ στρατοπέδου. τεκμήριον δέ· οὐ γὰρ ἄν ποτε Τρωίλος ἔξω τοῦ τείχους ἐγυμνάζετο, καὶ ταῦτα μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως, οὐδʼ ἂν ἐγεώργουν τὴν Χερρόνησον, ὡς ὁμολογοῦσι πάντες, εἴπερ ἐκράτουν τῆς Τρῳάδος, οὐδʼ ἂν ἐκ Λήμνου οἶνος ἐκομίζετο αὐτοῖς.
