Euryalus forma insignis viridique iuventa, Nisus amore pio pueri; quos deinde secutus regius egregia Priami de stirpe Diores; hunc Salius simul et Patron, quorum alter Acarnan, alter ab Arcadio Tegeaeae sanguine gentis; tum duo Trinacrii iuvenes, Helymus Panopesque, adsueti silvis, comites senioris Acestae; multi praeterea, quos fama obscura recondit.
Euryalus was famous for his beauty and youthful charm, while Nisus was known for his tender love for the boy. Following them came noble Diores, who belonged to Priam's noble family. Then Salius and Patron advanced side by side. One of them was from Acarnania and the other was born in Tegea, as an Arcadian. Two Sicilian youths, Helymus and Panopes, who were familiar with the woods and served old Acestes were present as well. There were many others whose reputations remain shrouded in obscurity.
