... forma captivae dominum Tecmessae, arsit Atrides medio...

daughter of a Phrygian king killed in combat by Ajax. A syllable such as "Te" containing a short vowel followed by a mute consonant and a liquid consonant (m, n, l, r) can be long or short; compare "pa-tris" (short) with "ab-lautum" (long); here, "Te" is short.
