Texte grec :
[10,26] ἐπιστάμενος ὅτι αὐτοῦ παῖς εἴη. καὶ τοίνυν τὰ περὶ Κροῖσον
ἀκήκοας τὸν Λυδόν, ὃς ἡγούμενος πείθεσθαι τῷ θεῷ παντὸς μᾶλλον
καὶ διαβὰς τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν Ἅλυν, τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέβαλε, καὶ
αὐτὸς ἐν πέδαις ἐδέθη καὶ ὀλίγου κατεκαύθη ζῶν. ἢ σὺ οἴει φρονιμώτερος
εἶναι Κροίσου, ἀνδρὸς οὕτω πλουσίου καὶ τοσούτων ἀνθρώπων
ἄρχοντος καὶ Σόλωνι συγγενομένου καὶ ἄλλοις παμπόλλοις σοφισταῖς;

Traduction française :
[10,26] for he would have known that he was his son.
Then you have heard the story about Croesus, the
Lydian, who, imagining that he was most faithfully
carrying out the behests of the god, crossed the river
Halys, lost his empire, was bound in chains himself,
and barely escaped being burned alive. Or do you,
pray, think that you are wiser than Croesus, a man
of such wealth, who ruled over so many people and
had met Solon and a great many other wise men?
