Miratur molem Æneas, magalia quondam, For Latin Prose: The Persian magnificence appears most at their feasts; the Greek, at their religious festivals. Asiatic feasts are distinguished for the vast quantities of provisions and sumptuous furniture: Greek for the elegance and variety of the conversation. Hence an Athenian said: "Our feasts please both on their own day, and the day after." Asiatic grandeur appears in the palaces of their princes; Greek, in the temples of their gods. A Persian noble is known by the richness of his dress and the number of his attendants; while the richest Athenian wears the same dress as a slave, and is not ashamed to go to the market alone.

Οὗτοι μέν νυν Ιώνων μοῦνοι τὴν δουλοσύνην οὐκ ἀνεχόμενοι ἐξέλιπον τὰς πατρίδας· οἱ δ ̓ ἄλλοι Ιωνες, πλὴν Μιλησίων, διὰ μάχης μὲν ἀπικέατο Αρπάγῳ κατάπερ οἱ ἐκλιπόντες, καὶ ἄνδρες ἐγένοντο ἀγαθοὶ περὶ τῆς ἑωυτοῦ ἕκαστος μαχόμενοι, ἑσσωθέντες δὲ καὶ ἁλόντες ἔμενον κατὰ χώρην ἕκαστοι καὶ τὰ ἐπιτασσομενα ἐπετέλεον.
