Οὐκ ἐνοχλήσω δέ σε ληρῶν ἀκαίρως, ἅμα δὲ καὶ δέδοικα μή, ἐὰν βραδύνω φθάσῃ μὲ ὁ φίλος· θέλω δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ συναποθανεῖν.” Ἐπεκλάσθησαν αἱ ὀργαὶ τῶν ἀκουόντων καὶ ὁ θυμὸς εἰς ἔλεον μετέπεσε, Μιθριδάτης δὲ ὑπὲρ πάντας συνεχύθη καὶ “μὴ δέδιθι” φησίν, “οὐ γὰρ ἐνοχλήσεις μοι διηγούμενος· ἔχω γὰρ ψυχὴν φιλάνθρωπον. Λέγε πάντα θαρρῶν καὶ μηδὲν παραλίπῃς, τίς εἶ καὶ πόθεν, καὶ πῶς ἦλθες εἰς Καρίαν καὶ διὰ τί σκάπτεις δεδεμένος; μάλιστα δέ μοι διήγησαι περὶ Καλλιρρόης καὶ τίς ὁ φίλος.”
