Proxima longaevo profert Dircaeus Adrasto signa gener, cui bella favent, cui commodat iras cuncta cohors: huic et patria de sede volentes advenere viri, seu quos movet exsul et haesit tristibus aucta fides, seu quis mutare potentes praecipuum, multi, melior quos causa querenti conciliat; dederat nec non socer ipse regendas Aegion Arenenque, et quas Theseia Troezen addit opes, ne rara movens inglorius iret agmina, neu raptos patriae sentiret honores.
Next to aged Adrastus his Dircaean son-in-law displays his standards, he in whose support they fight, to whom the whole army lends its wrath. To him come also volunteers from his native land. Some the exile moves and their loyalty has held, strengthened by misfortune, some chiefly want a change of ruler, many are won to his complaint by his better cause. Moreover, his father-in-law himself had given him Aegion and Arene  to rule and the power that Theseus Troezen  brings, lest he march inglorious leading a scanty force and be conscious of his countrys ravished honours.
