From those of the house of ALASTAIR I have received news that both burdens my heart and lightens it at once. Today shall be the last day I pass among this crew that I have so long served. Tomorrow I shall go once more to Dardanus' land, upon whose shores the bones of my dear Patroclus wait, and there at last I shall meet the fate that too awaits me. Thus I have come to bid farewell.
also this is the day before audentes ships out again
