Ἡνίκα δὲ ὁ ξένος εἰς οἶκον ἀπίων ἀνίστατο, εἰπεῖν λέγεται, Οὐκέτι θαυμάζω, ὦ Κῦρε, εἰ ἐκπώματα μὲν καὶ ἱμάτια καὶ χρυσία ἡμεῖς ὑμῶν πλείω κεκτήμεθα, αὐτοὶ δ ̓ ἐλάττονος ὑμῶν ἄξιοί ἐσμεν. Ἡμεῖς γὰρ ἐπιμελούμεθα ὅπως ἡμῖν ταῦτα ὡς πλεῖστα ἔσται, ὑμεῖς δέ μοι δοκεῖτε ἐπιμελεῖσθαι ὅπως αὐτοὶ ὡς κράτιστοι ἔσεσθε.

Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἀπορία ἦν, ἐλυπεῖτο μὲν σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο καθεύδειν μικρὸν δ ̓ ὕπνου λαχὼν εἶδεν ὄναρ. Εδοξεν αὐτῷ, βροντῆς γενομένης, σκηπτὸς πεσεῖν εἰς τὴν πατρῴαν οἰκίαν, καὶ ἐκ τούτου λάμπεσθαι πᾶσαν. Περίφοβος δ ̓ εὐθὺς ἀνηγέρθη, καὶ τὸ ὄναρ πῆ μὲν ἔκρινεν ἀγαθὸν, (ὅτι, ἐν πόνοις ὢν καὶ κινδύνοις, φῶς μέγα ἐκ Διὸς ἰδεῖν ἔδοξε·) πῆ δὲ καὶ ἐφοβεῖτο, (ὅτι ἀπὸ Διὸς μὲν βασιλέως τὸ ὄναρ ἐδόκει αὐτῷ εἶναι, κύκλῳ δὲ ἐδόκει λάμπεσθαι τὸ πῦρ,) μὴ οὐ δύναιτο ἐκ τῆς χώρας ἐξελθεῖν τῆς βασιλέως, ἀλλ ̓ εἴργοιτο πάντοθεν ὑπό τινων ἀποριῶν.

(3). ̓Ασκῶν, ἔφη, δισχιλίων δεήσομαι· πολλὰ δὲ ὁρῶ ταῦτα πρόβατα καὶ αἶγας καὶ βοῦς καὶ ὄνους, ἃ ἀποδαρέντα καὶ φυσηθέντα ῥᾳδιώς ἂν παρέχοι τὴν διάβασιν.

(4) Οὗτοι μὲν γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἐπιωρκήκασιν, ἡμεῖς δὲ, πολλὰ ὁρῶντες ἀγαθά, στεῤῥως αὐτῶν ἀπειχόμεθα διὰ τοὺς τῶν θεῶν ὅρκους· ὥστε ἐξεῖναί μοι δοκεῖ ἰέναι ἐπὶ τὸν ἀγῶνα πολὺ σὺν φρονήματι μείζονι ἢ τούτοις.

Bello Helvetiorum confecto totius fere Galliae legati, principes civitatum, ad Caesarem gratulatum convenerunt: Intellegere sese, tametsi pro veteribus Helvetiorum iniuriis populi Romani ab his poenas bello repetisset, tamen eam rem non minus ex usu terrae Galliae quam populi Romani accidisse, propterea quod eo consilio florentissimis rebus domos suas Helvetii reliquissent, uti toti Galliae bellum inferrent imperioque potirentur locumque domicilio ex magna copia deligerent, quem ex omni Gallia opportunissimum ac fructuosissimum iudicassent, reliquasque civitates stipendiarias haberent. Petierunt, ut sibi concilium totius Galliae in diem certam indicere idque Caesaris voluntate facere liceret: habere quasdam res, quas ex communi consensu ab eo petere vellent. Ea re permissa diem et iureiurando, ne quis enuntiaret nisi quibus communi consilio mandatum esset, inter se sanxerunt.
