Line Information

  • Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
  • English translations (Windeatt: 1998): since you well know there is now a truce—that you won’t hear full well how I am from day to day. And before that truce is over I’ll be here again, and then you’ve gained both Antenor and me as well. Cheer up now, if you can,
  • Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 監禁されてかくまわれるわけではありませんので、ねえ、愛するお方、毎日—わたしの暮らしぶりについて便りが聞けて分かりますわよ、だって今は休戦中であることを貴方はよくご存じですもの—そして休戦が終わります前にここに戻って参りますわ。その時トロイアはアンテノール様とわたし二人を獲得して儲けたことになります。さあ、何とぞ、元気をお出しください
  • Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 你知道现正停战,所以每天你定可得到我的详细消息,亲爱的心。停战期限未满以前,我就可回来,那时恩吞诺和我两人都将归特洛亚所有了。你尽可宽心,
