§1.51.1ἐκ δὲ Ἀμβρακίας Ἀγχίσης μὲν τὰς ναῦς ἔχων παρὰ γῆν κομιζόμενος εἰς Βουθρωτὸν λιμένα τῆς Ἠπείρου κατάγεται, Αἰνείας δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀκμαιότατοι σὺν αὐτῷ τοῦ στρατοῦ διανύσαντες ἡμερῶν δυεῖν ὁδὸν εἰς Δωδώνην ἀφικνοῦνται χρησόμενοι τῷ θεῷ καὶ καταλαμβάνουσιν αὐτόθι Τρῶας τοὺς σὺν Ἑλένῳ.
Anchises, taking the ships and coastal sailing, put in at Buthrotum, a harbor of Epirus, while Aeneas and the most vigorous part of the army with him accomplished a journey of two days and arrived at Dodona to consult the oracle, and there they found the Trojans who were with Helenus.
ἀνελόμενοι δὲ χρησμοὺς περὶ τῆς ἀποικίας καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἀναθήμασι δωρησάμενοι Τρωικοῖς ἄλλοις τε καὶ κρατῆρσι χαλκοῖς, ὧν τινες ἔτι περίεισιν ἐπιγραφαῖς πάνυ ἀρχαίαις δηλοῦντες τοὺς ἀναθέντας, ἐπὶ τὸ ναυτικὸν ἀφικνοῦνται τεττάρων μάλιστα ἡμερῶν διελθόντες ὁδόν.
Having received oracles concerning their colony and having presented the god with Trojan offerings, including bronze kraters, some of which still survive with very ancient inscriptions showing those who dedicated them, they rejoined the fleet after completing a journey of about four days.
δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ τὴν εἰς Βουθρωτὸν τῶν Τρώων παρουσίαν λόφος τις, ᾧ τότε στρατοπέδῳ §1.51.2ἐχρήσαντο, Τροία καλούμενος.
The presence of the Trojans at Buthrotum is also shown by a certain hill, which they used at that time as a camp, called Troy.
ἐκ δὲ Βουθρωτοῦ παρὰ γῆν κομισθέντες ἄχρι λιμένος Ἀγχίσου μὲν τότε ὀνομασθέντος, νῦν δʼ ἀσαφεστέραν ἔχοντος ὀνομασίαν, ἱερὸν καὶ αὐτόθι τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ἱδρυσάμενοι διαίρουσι τὸν Ἰόνιον ἡγεμόνας ἔχοντες τῆς ναυτιλίας, οἳ συνέπλευσαν αὐτοῖς ἐθελούσιοι συνεπισπόμενοι, τοὺς σὺν Πάτρωνι τῷ Θουρίῳ·
Sailing along the coast from Buthrotum as far as the harbor then named after Anchises, but now having a less clear name, they founded there too a temple of Aphrodite, and crossed the Ionian Sea, having as guides of their navigation those who had voluntarily sailed with them, namely those under Patron the Thurian.
καὶ αὐτῶν οἱ μὲν πλείους, ἐπειδὴ σῶος ὁ στρατὸς εἰς Ἰταλίαν ἀφίκετο, ἐπʼ οἴκου αὖθις ἀνεκομίσθησαν, Πάτρων δὲ πεισθεὶς ὑπʼ Αἰνείου κοινωνεῖν τῆς ἀποικίας καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τινες τῶν φίλων ὑπέμειναν ἐν τῷ στόλῳ· οὓς ἔνιοί φασιν ἐν Ἀλοντίῳ κατοικῆσαι τῆς Σικελίας.
Of these, the greater part returned home again once the army had arrived safely in Italy, but Patron, being persuaded by Aeneas to share in the colony, and some of his friends with him, remained in the fleet; some say that these settled in Alontium in Sicily.
ταύτης ὑπομνήσει τῆς εὐεργεσίας Ἀκαρνᾶσι Ῥωμαῖοι Λευκάδα καὶ Ἀνακτόριον ἀφελόμενοι Κορινθίους ἀνὰ χρόνον ἐχαρίσαντο Οἰνιάδας τε ἀποκαταστῆσαι βουλομένοις ἐπέτρεψαν καὶ τὰς Ἐχινάδας νήσους καρποῦσθαι κοινῇ μετʼ Αἰτωλῶν ἔδωκαν.
In memory of this benefit, the Romans in course of time took Leucas and Anactorium from the Corinthians and made a present of them to the Acarnanians, and permitted them, when they wished, to restore Oeniadae, and gave them the right to enjoy the produce of the Echinades islands in common with the Aetolians.
§1.51.3οἱ δὲ σὺν Αἰνείᾳ ποιησάμενοι τὴν ἀπόβασιν οὐ καθʼ ἓν χωρίον τῆς Ἰταλίας, ἀλλὰ ταῖς μὲν πλείσταις ναυσὶ πρὸς ἄκραν Ἰαπυγίας ὁρμισάμενοι, ἣ τότε Σαλεντῖνος ἐλέγετο, ταῖς δὲ λοιπαῖς κατὰ τὸ καλούμενον Ἀθήναιον, ἔνθα καὶ αὐτὸς Αἰνείας ἐτύγχανεν ἐπιβὰς Ἰταλίας ʽτοῦτο δὲ τὸ χωρίον ἐστὶν ἀκρωτήριον καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ θερινὸς ὅρμος, ὃς ἐξ ἐκείνου λιμὴν Ἀφροδίτης καλεῖταἰ, παρέπλευσαν ἄχρι πορθμοῦ διὰ χειρὸς ἔχοντες Ἰταλίαν, ἴχνη τινὰ κἀν τούτοις ὑπολειπόμενοι τοῖς τόποις τῆς ἀφίξεως ἄλλα τε καὶ φιάλην χαλκῆν ἐν Ἥρας ἱερῷ γραφῇ δηλοῦσαν ἀρχαίᾳ τοῦ δωρησαμένου τῇ θεῷ Αἰνείου τοὔνομα.
But those with Aeneas made their landing not at a single place in Italy, but while anchoring with most of the ships at the promontory of Iapygia, which was then called Salentinus, and with the remaining ships at the place called Athenaeum, where Aeneas himself happened to set foot on Italy (this place is a promontory with a summer anchorage on it, which after him is called the harbor of Aphrodite), they sailed along as far as the strait, keeping Italy on their right hand, leaving behind in these places too some tokens of their arrival, especially a bronze phiale in the temple of Hera, showing the name of Aeneas who gave it to the goddess in an ancient inscription.
