Kitap 5
4.11
And I, by the gods, said Gadatas, wasGadatas shows his gratitude coming to gaze upon you again and see what you may look like, you who possess such a soul. For though I do not see what need you now have of my assistance, and though you made no promise to do this for me and have been put under no obligation whatever to me, at least no personal obligation, yet because you fancied that I had given some assistance to your friends, you have come so gallantly to my relief that at this moment, whereas by myself I am a lost man, by your goodness I am saved.
4.12
By the gods, Cyrus, if I were such a man as once I was and had children, I doubt if I could have had a child as kind to me as you have been; for I know that this present king of Assyria, like many another son that I have known, has caused his own father much more trouble than he can now cause you.
4.13
You fail to notice a much greater wonder, Gadatas, when you now express your wonder at me, Cyrus made reply. And what is that, pray? asked Gadatas. That so many Persians have shown their interest in you, he answered, and so many Medes and Hyrcanians, and all the Armenians, Sacians, and Cadusians here present.
