Texte grec :
| [12,18] ὥστε ἐθαύμαζον ὅπως με ἠνείχοντο ὁρῶντες.
οὔτε γὰρ ἱππεύειν ἐπιστάμενος οὔτε τοξότης ἱκανὸς
ὢν οὔθ´ ὁπλίτης, ἀλλ´ οὐδὲ τῶν κούφων καὶ ἀνόπλων {τὴν βαρεῖαν
ὅπλισιν στρατιωτῶν οὐδ´} ἀκοντιστὴς ἢ λιθοβόλος, οὐδ´ αὖ τεμεῖν
ὕλην ἢ τάφρον ὀρύττειν δυνατὸς οὐδὲ ἀμῆσαι χιλὸν ἐκ πολεμίου
λειμῶνος πυκνὰ μεταστρεφόμενος, οὐδὲ ἐγεῖραι σκηνὴν ἢ χάρακα,
ὥσπερ ἀμέλει ξυνέπονται τοῖς στρατοπέδοις πολεμικοί τινες ὑπηρέται·

Traduction française :
| [12,18] so that I marvelled that they brooked the sight of me.
For I, who could not ride a horse and was not a
skilled bowman or man-at-arms, nor yet a javelinthrower,
or slinger, belonging to the light-armed
troops who carry no heavy armour, nor, again, was
able to cut timber or dig a trench, nor to mow fodder
from an enemy's meadow with many a glance
behind' nor yet to raise a tent or a rampart, just
as certain non-combatants do who follow the legions as helpers,
