et primum Antiphaten (is enim se primus agebat), Thebana de matre nothum Sarpedonis alti, coniecto sternit iaculo: volat Itala cornus aera per tenerum stomachoque infixa sub altum pectus abit; reddit specus atri vulneris undam spumantem, et fixo ferrum in pulmone tepescit.
And first Antiphates (for he was first to advance), the bastard son of tall Sarpedon by a Theban mother, he slays with a javelin cast. Through the yielding air flies the Italian cornel shaft and, lodging in the gullet, runs deep into the breast; the wounds dark chasm gives back a foaming tide, and the steel grows warm in the pierced lung.
