Note (return) — BOOK THE SIXTEENTH.
Theodore Alois Buckley translation · Edition 4

But to me, revolving it in my mind, my heart is impelled with a twofold anxiety, 530 either that having snatched him alive from the mournful battle, I may place him among the rich people of Lycia, or now subdue him beneath the hands of the son of Menœtius.”
