Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Who was happy enough then but Calchas? He soon entrusted his requirements in this matter to those who were to go to the negotiations, and repeatedly asked them to bring home King Thoas and Criseyde, in exchange for Antenor. When Priam sent his safe conduct, the ambassadors went straight to Troy.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): だがその時すこぶる喜んだ人物はカルカス以外誰もいなかった。そして彼はこの事に関する自分の要件をすぐに交渉に向かうべき人たちに委ね、彼はアンテノールと交換にトアス王とクリセイデを連れて帰ってもらいたいと再三再四頼んだ。プリアモスから通行所が送られてくると、特使たちは一路トロイアへ赴いた。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 还有谁更比卡尔卡斯的心中快慰的？他马上把这件事交托了订约的人员，谆谆叮咛他们务必把恩屯诺换回讬亚斯王及克丽西德。
