ἀλλὰ χρόνοις ὕστερον ἀφικνεῖταί τις Γαλάτης, ἐπιεικὴς ἄνθρωπος, Ἀρσακίου συγγενής. δίκη δὲ ἦν αὐτῷ καὶ ἔδει τῆς τοῦ κρινοῦντος εὐνοίας. οὗτός μοι κο- μίζει γράμματα σά τε καἰ οὐ σά. τῆς μὲν γὰρ σῆς ἦν, οἶμαι, χειρός, τῆς δὲ σῆς οὐκ ἦν διανοίας, μᾶλλον δὲ τῆς σῆς ταυ- τῇσί τῆς δευτέρας· οὕτως οὐδὲν τῆς συνηθείας ἐκείνης ἐνετε- τύπωτο, ἀλλὰ πικρά τε ἦν καὶ ἄγρια καὶ δηλοῦντα, ὡς ἄρα ἀναγκασθείης καὶ πρὸς τὴν ἀνάγκην ἄχθοιο.
