ἀλλὰ μὰ Δίʼ, ἔφασαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι, οὐκ ἂν ἡμεῖς ἀσφαλῶς ἐργαζοίμεθα μὴ ὅτι τὴν τούτων, ἀλλʼ οὐδʼ ἂν τὴν ἡμετέραν, εἰ οὗτοι τὰ ἄκρα ἔχοιεν. εἰ δʼ ὑμῖν αὖ, ἔφη, τὰ ἄκρα σύμμαχα εἶεν; οὕτως ἄν, ἔφασαν, ἡμῖν καλῶς ἔχοι. ἀλλὰ μὰ Δίʼ, ἔφη ὁ Ἀρμένιος, οὐκ ἂν ἡμῖν αὖ καλῶς ἔχοι, εἰ οὗτοι παραλήψονται πάλιν τὰ ἄκρα ἄλλως τε καὶ τετειχισμένα.
