δίδωσί τε ὑμῖν ἡ τύχη οὐ βασιλέα μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ πατέρα χρηστόν. εὐφρανεῖ τε ἡ τοῦδε ἀρχὴ οὐχ ὑμᾶς μόνον τοὺς ἐνταυθοῖ δορυφοροῦντας, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς ἐπὶ ταῖς ὄχθαις τῶν ποταμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἐπὶ τοῖς ὅροις τῆς Ῥωμαίων ἀρχῆς ἱδρυμένους, οἳ τὴν πεῖραν αὐτοῦ τῶν ἔργων φέρουσι διὰ μνήμης. τό τε βάρβαρον οὐ χρήμασιν ἔτι θεραπεύσομεν, πείρᾳ δὲ ὧν πρὸς αὐτοῦ πεπόνθασι στρατηγοῦντος φόβῳ ὑποτάξονται.
