τί οὖν, ὦ Τυχιάδη, οὐχὶ καὶ Πάτροκλος τοῦ
Ἀχιλλέως παράσιτος ἦν, καὶ ταῦτα οὐδενὸς τῶν ἄλλων Ἑλλήνων φαυλότερος οὔτε τὴν ψυχὴν
οὔτε τὸ σῶμα νεανίας ὤν; ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐδ᾽ αὐτοῦ μοι δοκῶ τοῦ Ἀχιλλέως τεκμαίρεσθαι τοῖς ἔργοις
αὐτοῦ χείρω εἶναι: τόν τε γὰρ Ἕκτορα ῥήξαντα τὰς πύλας καὶ παρὰ ταῖς ναυσὶν εἴσω μαχόμενον οὗτος ἐξέωσεν καὶ τὴν Πρωτεσιλάου ναῦν ἤδη
καιομένην ἔσβεσεν, καίτοι ἐπεβάτευον αὐτῆς οὐχ
οἱ φαυλότατοι, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ τοῦ Τελαμῶνος Αἴας τε καὶ Τεῦκρος, ὁ μὲν ὁπλίτης ἀγαθός, ὁ δὲ τοξότης. καὶ πολλοὺς μὲν ἀπέκτεινε τῶν βαρβάρων, ἐν δὲ
δὴ τούτοις καὶ Σαρπηδόνα τὸν παῖδα τοῦ Διός,
.ὁ παράσιτος τοῦ Ἀχιλλέως. καὶ ἀπέθανεν δὲ
οὐχὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ὁμοίως, ἀλλὰ τὸν ^ μὲν Ἕκτορα Ἀχιλλεὺς ἀπέκτεινεν, εἷς ἕνα, καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἀχιλλέα Πάρις, τὸν δὲ παράσιτον θεὸς καὶ δύο ἄνθρωποι. καὶ τελευτῶν δὲ φωνὰς ἀφῆκεν οὐχ
οἵας ὁ γενναιότατος Ἕκτωρ καὶ προσπίπτων τὸν Ἀχιλλέα καὶ ἱκετεύων ὅπως ὁ νεκρὸς αὐτοῦ τοῖς
[p. 296] οἰκείοις ἀποδοθῇ, ἀλλ᾽ οἵας εἰκὸς ἀφεῖναι παράσιτον. τίνας δὴ ταύτας; τοιοῦτοι δ᾽ εἴπερ μοι ἐείκοσιν ἀντεβόλησαν, πάντες κ᾽ αὐτόθ᾽ ὄλοντο ἐμῷ ὑπὸ δουρὶ δαμέντες.
