Paulum ab his secernuntur Achaei, qui bello anteriore quodam apud Troiam consummato, non cum super Helena certaretur (ut auctores prodidere non nulli), usque in Pontum reflantibus ventis errore delati, cunctisque hostilibus, stabilem domicilii sedem nusquam reperientes, verticibus montium insedere semper nivalium, et horrore caeli districti, victum sibi cum periculis raptu parare assuefacti sunt, atque eo ultra omnem deinde ferociam saevierunt.
A short distance from these are the Achaei, who, after the end of an earlier war at Troy (not the one which was fought about Helen, as some writers have asserted), being carried out of their course by contrary winds to Pontus, and meeting enemies everywhere, were unable to find a place for a permanent home; and so they settled on the tops of mountains covered with perpetual snow, where, compelled by the rigorous climate, they became accustomed to make a dangerous living by robbery, and hence became later beyond all measure savage.
