[p. 420]
ἀντιστάντων δὲ πολλῶν ἀμυνόμενος τοὺς μὲν ἐξέωσε
τοῦ τείχους ἐπ᾽ ἀμφότερα καὶ κατέβαλε, πλείστους
δὲ περὶ αὑτὸν τῷ ξίφει χρώμενος ἐσώρευσε
νεκρούς, ἔπαθε δὲ αὐτὸς οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καὶ προσιδεῖν
δεινὸς ἐφάνη τοῖς πολεμίοις, καὶ τὸν
Ὅμηρον ἔδειξεν ὀρθῶς καὶ μετὰ ἐμπειρίας ἀποφαίνοντα
τῶν ἀρετῶν μόνην τὴν ἀνδρείαν φορὰς
πολλάκις ἐνθουσιώδεις καὶ μανικὰς φερομένην.
ἁλούσης δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἔθυσέ τε τῷ θεῷ μεγαλοπρεπῶς
καὶ θέας ἀγώνων παντοδαπῶν παρέσχε.
