Τοῦ γὰρ Ἀχιλλέως ἐπιβοηθήσαντος ἐν τῇ καταλήψει τῶν νεῶν ὑπʼ ἀνάγκης τὸ πλέον καὶ τῆς αὑτοῦ σωτηρίας ἕνεκεν, τροπὴν μέν τινα γενέσθαι τῶν Τρώων καὶ ἀναχωρῆσαι παραχρῆμα ἀπὸ τῶν νεῶν αὐτοὺς καὶ σβεσθῆναι τὸ πῦρ, ἅτε ἐξαπίνης ἐπιπεσόντος τοῦ Ἀχιλλέως, καὶ τούς τε ἄλλους ἀποχωρεῖν καὶ τὸν Ἕκτορα ὑπάγειν αὑτὸν ἔξω τῆς τάφρου καὶ τῆς περὶ τὸ στρατόπεδον στενοχωρίας, σχέδην δὲ καὶ ἐφιστάμενον, ὥσπερ αὐτός φησιν Ὅμηρος.
