Not though he gave me ten times, aye twenty times all that now he has, and if yet other should be added thereto I care not whence, not though it were all the wealth that goes in to Orchomenus, or to Thebes of Egypt, where treasures in greatest store are laid up in men's houses,—Thebes which is a city of an hundred gates from which sally forth through each two hundred warriors with horses and cars;
οὐ δ' εἴ μοι δεκάκις τε καὶ εἰκοσάκις τόσα δοίη ὅσσά τέ οἱ νῦν ἔστι , καὶ εἴ ποθεν ἄλλα γένοιτο , οὐ δ' ὅσ' ἐς Ὀρχομενὸν ποτινίσεται , οὐ δ' ὅσα Θήβας Αἰγυπτίας , ὅθι πλεῖστα δόμοις ἐν κτήματα κεῖται , αἵ θ' ἑκατόμπυλοί εἰσι , διηκόσιοι δ' ἀν' ἑκάστας ἀνέρες ἐξοιχνεῦσι σὺν ἵπποισιν καὶ ὄχεσφιν · [0] [2] [1] [6] [5] [4]
οὐ δέ εἰ ἐγώ δεκάκις τε καί εἰκοσάκις τόσος δίδωμι ὅσος τε ἕ νῦν εἰμί , καί εἰ ποθεν ἄλλος γίγνομαι , οὐ δέ ὅσος εἰς Ὀρχομενός ποτινίσσομαι , οὐ δέ ὅσος Θῆβαι Αἰγύπτιος , ὅθι πλεῖστος δόμος ἐν κτῆμα κεῖμαι , ὅς τε ἑκατόμπυλος εἰμί , διακόσιοι δέ ἀνά ἕκαστος ἀνήρ ἐξοιχνέω σύν ἵππος καί ὄχος ·
