M/M: Achilles & Patroclus, Together in the Tomb: Greek Anthology

 Patroclus hic situs est, tumulo quoque iunctus Achilli,

Quem Mars ipse manu perculit Hectorea.


Πατρόκλου τάφος ούτος ομου δ Αχιλή τέθαπται 

ον κτάνεν ωκύς Αρης Εκτορος έν παλάμαις.


--Mantissa Secunda de Graecis Heroibus, compiled & translated by Henricus Stephanus #6


Here lies Patroclus, joined with Achilles in the tomb,

whom Mars himself smote through the hands of Hector.
