Translation
Odysseus, in the departing voyage [sc. from Troy], sailed into Maroneia, and when he could not reach an agreement regarding disembarkation from the ships, fought it out with them in a battle and seized all their riches. In that place, since Hekabe was cursing the army and inciting disturbances, he killed her with volleys of stones and hid her next to the sea, calling the place 'Bitch's gravestone'.
