τοῦ Ἰνδῶν. τῶν μὲν γὰρ ἄλλων ἁπάντων ἔλεγεν αὐτὸς ἄρχειν
ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ Τροίας μέχρι Αἰθιοπίας: καὶ γὰρ Αἰθιόπων βασιλεύειν
τὸν αὑτοῦ ἀνεψιὸν Μέμνονα, ἐκ Τιθωνοῦ ὄντα τοῦ Πριάμου
ἀδελφοῦ. καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ ἔλεγεν ἐπαγωγά, καὶ δῶρα ἐδίδου τῇ
τε Λήδᾳ καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις τοῖς προσήκουσιν, ὅσα οὐδὲ ξύμπαντεσοἱ Ἕλληνες ἐδύναντο. ἔφη δὲ καὶ ξυγγενὴς εἶναι τῆς Ἑλένης καὶ
αὐτός: ἀπὸ γὰρ Διὸς εἶναι τὸν Πρίαμον: πυνθάνεσθαι δὲ κἀκείνους
καὶ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν Διὸς ὄντας. τῷ δὲ Ἀγαμέμνονι καὶ
τῷ Μενελάῳ μὴ προσήκειν ὀνειδίζειν αὐτῷ τὴν πατρίδα: καὶ γὰρ
αὐτοὺς εἶναι Φρύγας ἀπὸ Σιπύλου. πολὺ δὴ κρεῖττον τοῖσβασιλεῦσι κηδεύειν τῆς Ἀσίας ἢ τοῖς ἐκεῖθεν μετανάσταις. καὶ
γὰρ Λαομέδοντα Τελαμῶνι δοῦναι τὴν ἑαυτοῦ θυγατέρα Ἡσιόνην:
ἐλθεῖν γὰρ αὐτὸν εἰς Τροίαν μνηστῆρα μετὰ Ἡρακλέους,
ἄγειν δὲ καὶ τὸν Ἡρακλέα φίλον ὄντα καὶ ξένον Λαομέδοντι.
