[1] There are also corpses: the naked man, Pelis by name, lies thrown on his back, and under Pelis lie Eioneus and Admetos, still clad in their corselets. Of these Lescheos says that Eioneus was killed by Neoptolemos, and Admetos by Philoctetes. Above these are others: under the washing-basin is Leokritos, the son of Poulydamas, killed by Odysseus; beyond Eioneus and Admetos is Coroebus, the son of Mygdon. Of Mygdon, there is a notable tomb on the borders of the Phrygians of Stectorium, and after him, poets are accustomed to call Phrygians by the name of Mygdones. Coroebus came to marry Cassandra and was killed, according to the more popular account by Neoptolemos, but according to the poet Lescheos, by Diomedes.

νεκροὶ δὲ ὁ μὲν γυμνὸς Πῆλις ὄνομα ἐπὶ τὸν νῶτόν ἐστιν ἐρριμμένος, ὑπὸ δὲ τὸν Πῆλιν Ἠιονεύς τε κεῖται καὶ Ἄδμητος ἐνδεδυκότες ἔτι τοὺς θώρακας· καὶ αὐτῶν Λέσχεως Ἠιονέα ὑπὸ Νεοπτολέμου, τὸν δὲ ὑπὸ Φιλοκτήτου φησὶν ἀποθανεῖν τὸν Ἄδμητον. ἄλλοι δὲ ἀνωτέρω τούτων ὑπὸ μὲν τὸ λουτήριον Λεώκριτός ἐστιν ὁ Πουλυδάμαντος τεθνεὼς ὑπὸ Ὀδυσσέως, ὑπὲρ δὲ Ἠιονέα τε καὶ Ἄδμητον Κόροιβος ὁ Μύγδονος· τούτου μνῆμά τε ἐπιφανὲς ἐν ὅροις πεποίηται Φρυγῶν Στεκτορηνῶν καὶ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ποιηταῖς Μύγδονας ὄνομα ἐπὶ τοῖς Φρυξὶ τίθεσθαι καθέστηκεν. ἀφίκετο μὲν δὴ ἐπὶ τὸν Κασσάνδρας ὁ Κόροιβος γάμον, ἀπέθανε δέ, ὡς μὲν ὁ πλείων λόγος, ὑπὸ Νεοπτολέμου, Λέσχεως δὲ ὑπὸ Διομήδους ἐποίησεν.
