“‘25. ἐπεὶ δ᾽ οὐκ ἄν ποτε συγκαθεῖναι 1 ἐς τοῦτο
ὁ Κάσσιος ἐθελήσειε ῾πῶς γὰρ ἂν πιστεύσειέ
μοι, ἄπιστος οὕτω περὶ ἐμὲ γεγενημένος;᾿, ὑμᾶς
γε, ὦ συστρατιῶται, χρὴ θαρρεῖν. οὐ γάρ που
κρείττους Κίλικες καὶ Σύροι καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ
Αἰγύπτιοι ὑμῶν οὔτε ἐγένοντό ποτε οὔτε ἔσονται,
οὐδ᾽ ἂν μυριάκις πλείους ὑμῶν, ὅσῳ νῦν ἐλάττους
[2]
εἰσίν, ἀθροισθῶσιν. οὐ μὴν οὐδ᾽ αὐτὸς ὁ Κάσσιος,
εἰ καὶ τὰ μάλιστα καὶ στρατηγικὸς εἶναι καὶ
πολλὰ κατωρθωκέναι δοκεῖ, λόγου τινὸς ἄξιος
νῦν ἂν φανείη: οὔτε γὰρ ἀετὸς κολοιῶν ἢ καὶ
λέων νεβρῶν ἡγησάμενος ἀξιόμαχος γίγνεται,
καὶ τὸν Ἀραβικὸν τόν τε Παρθικὸν ἐκεῖνον
πόλεμον οὐ Κάσσιος ἀλλ᾽ ὑμεῖς κατειργάσασθε.
[3]
ἄλλως τε, εἰ καὶ ἐκεῖνος ἐκ τῶν πρὸς Πάρθους
πραχθέντων εὐδόκιμός ἐστιν, ἔχετε καὶ ὑμεῖς
Οὐῆρον, ὃς οὐδὲν ἧττον ἀλλὰ καὶ μᾶλλον αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐνίκησε πλεῖστα 2 καὶ κατεκτήσατο. ἀλλὰ
τάχα μὲν καὶ ἤδη μετανενόηκε, ζῶντά με μεμαθηκώς:
οὐ γάρ που καὶ ἄλλως ἢ ὡς τετελευτηκότος
μου τοῦτ᾽ ἐποίησεν. ἂν δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ πλεῖον
ἀντίσχῃ, ἀλλ᾽ ὅταν γε καὶ προσιόντας ἡμᾶς
πύθηται, πάντως γνωσιμαχήσει, καὶ ὑμᾶς φοβηθεὶς
καὶ ἐμὲ αἰδεσθείς.
