Thou dost in sooth call to my mind a lament for my excellent friends, while thou speakest of baleful, hateful, exceeding hateful horrors. My heart within me moans aloud, moans aloud for them unhappy.
CHORUS
And, in truth, we regret another too, Xanthus, leader of ten thousand Mardians, and warlike Anehares, Diaexis too, and Arsames, chiefs of the cavalry, Cigdates and Lythimnes, and Tolmus that was never satisfied with the spear.
