ἦν ἀνὴρ εἰς πᾶσαν ἀρετὴν ἀγαθός, ἐν δὲ τοῖς πολεμικοῖς ἄριστος· ἐπιβουλεύων δὲ τὸν Πορσίναν ἀνελεῖν παρεισῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στρατόπεδον Τυρρηνίδα φορῶν ἐσθῆτα καί φωνῇ χρώμενος ὁμοία περιελθὼν δὲ τὸ βῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως καθεζομένου, καί σαφῶς μὲν αὑτὸν οὐκ εἰδώς, ἐρέσθαι δὲ περὶ αὐτοῦ δεδιώς, ἐν ᾠήθη μάλιστα τῶν συγκαθεζομένων ἐκεῖνον εἶναι σπασάμενος τὸ ξίφος ἀπέκτεινεν.
