Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): The stars were still visible in the sky, although the moon had grown very pale, and all towards the east the bright horizon was whitening, as it is wont to do. Soon afterwards Phoebus prepared to travel upwards with his rosy chariot, and then Troilus sent for Pandarus.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 月は淡く朧になってきたけれども、まだ天上には星が見られた。いつものように、東の方の地平線は白く輝き始めた。すると間もなくフォイボスは薔薇色の車に乗り、その後から昇る準備を始めた。その頃トロイルスはパンダルスを迎えに人を遺った。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 这时星光仍在天空闪耀，月色已稀薄；东方天际发了鱼白；费白斯的玫瑰色车轮上升，特罗勒斯于是去请彭大瑞来会。

Comments from the Editor
In this quote, Troilus sends for Pandarus for the first time after Criseyde’s departure. The natural description of this scene aligns with the account found in Teseida 7.94.
