74Ecce Syenites, genitus Metione, Phorbas
75et Libys Amphimedon, avidi committere pugnam,
76sanguine, quo late tellus madefacta tepebat,
77conciderant lapsi: surgentibus obstitit ensis,
78alterius costis, iugulo Phorbantis adactus.
79At non Actoriden Erytum, cui lata bipennis
80telum erat, hamato Perseus petit ense, sed altis
81exstantem signis multaeque in pondere massae
82ingentem manibus tollit cratera duabus
83infligitque viro; rutilum vomit ille cruorem
84et resupinus humum moribundo vertice pulsat.
85Inde Semiramio Polydegmona sanguine cretum
86Caucasiumque Abarin Sperchionidenque Lycetum
87intonsumque comas Helicen Phlegyanque Clytumque
88sternit et exstructos morientum calcat acervos.
