Quotation	Verumtamen qui diuturnitatem illius obsidionis, euersionis atrocitatem caedem captiuitatemque didicerunt, uideant si recte isto qualiscumque est praesentis temporis statu offenduntur, quos hostes occulta misericordia Dei cum per omnes terras instructis copiis bello persequi possint, pacis gratia praetentis obsidibus per omnia maria sequuntur; et, ne forte haec quietis amore facere credantur, se ipsos ac pericula sua pro Romanorum pace aduersum alias gentes offerunt.
Translation	Nevertheless, those who have learnt about the length of that siege and the atrocities, slaughter, and enslavement that took place on Troy’s fall, might see if they have any justification to be angry with the present state of affairs, whatever it is like, when their enemies, through the workings of God’s hidden mercy, pursue them over every sea to offer peace and surrender hostages, although they could have armed themselves for battle and pursued them in war in over every land. Moreover, in case it is thought that they have done this through a love of peace and quiet, they are offering to risk themselves against other peoples to keep the peace for the Romans.
