ὁ δὲ τὰς ἱερείας τὰς ἐν Ἄργει καὶ τὰ καθʼ ἑκάστην πραχθέντα συναγαγὼν Αἰνείαν φησὶν ἐκ Μολοττῶν εἰς Ἰταλίαν ἐλθόντα μετʼ Ὀδυσσέα οἰκιστὴν γενέσθαι τῆς πόλεως, ὀνομάσαι δʼ αὐτὴν ἀπὸ μιᾶς τῶν Ἰλιάδων Ῥώμης. ταύτην δὲ λέγει ταῖς ἄλλαις Τρωάσι παρακελευσαμένην κοινῇ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐμπρῆσαι τὰ σκάφη βαρυνομένην τῇ πλάνῃ. ὁμολογεῖ δʼ αὐτῷ καὶ Δαμαστὴς ὁ Σιγεὺς καὶ ἄλλοι τινές.
