οἱ μὲν γὰρ Αἰνείου καὶ
Δεξιθέας τῆς Φόρβαντος υἱὸν ὄντα νήπιον εἰς Ἰταλίαν
κομισθῆναι καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ Ῥῶμον: ἐν δὲ τῷ
ποταμῷ πλημμύραντι τῶν ἄλλων σκαφῶν διαφθαρέντων,
ἐν ᾧ δ᾽ ἦσαν οἱ παῖδες εἰς μαλακὴν ἀποκλινθέντος ὄχθην
ἀτρέμα, σωθέντας1 ἀπροσδοκήτως2 ὄνομα θεῖναι Ῥώμην.
1 σωθέντας MSS., Coraës, Sintenis1, and Bekker: σωθέντος.
2 ἀπροσδοκήτως after this word, Bekker assumes a lacuna in the text.
