Texte grec :
| [12,17] ἦλθον δὲ οὐ χρημάτων ἔμπορος οὐδὲ τῶν πρὸς ὑπηρεσίαν
τοῦ στρατοπέδου σκευοφορῶν ἢ
βοηλατῶν, οὐδὲ πρεσβείαν ἐπρέσβευον συμμαχικὴν ἤ τινα εὔφημον,
τῶν ἀπὸ γλώττης μόνον συνευχομένων,
γυμνὸς ἄτερ κόρυθός τε καὶ ἀσπίδος, οὐδ´ ἔχον ἔγχος,
οὐ μὴν οὐδὲ ἄλλο ὅπλον οὐθέν.

Traduction française :
| [12,17] And I went there, not as a merchant with his wares,
nor yet as one of the supply-train of the army in the
capacity of baggage-carrier or cattle-driver, nor
was I discharging a mission as ambassador to our
allies or on some embassy bearing congratulations,
the members of which join in prayers with the lips
only. I went "Unarmed, with neither helm nor shield nor lance",
nor indeed with any other weapon either,
