“17. μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐστράτευσεν ἐπ᾽ Ἀρμενίους καὶ Πάρθους, πρόφασιν μὲν ὅτι μὴ τὸ διάδημα ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰλήφει, ἀλλὰ παρὰ τοῦ Πάρθων βασιλέως, ὁ τῶν Ἀρμενίων βασιλεύς, τῇ δ᾽ ἀληθείᾳ δόξης ἐπιθυμίᾳ.” Xiph. 235, 6-20 R. St. “ [2] ὅτι τοῦ Τραϊανοῦ ἐπὶ Πάρθους στρατεύσαντος καὶ ἐς Ἀθήνας ἀφικομένου πρεσβεία αὐτῷ ἐνταῦθα παρὰ τοῦ Ὀρρόου 1 ἐνέτυχε, τῆς εἰρήνης δεομένη καὶ δῶρα φέρουσα. ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἔγνω τήν τε ὁρμὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι τοῖς ἔργοις τὰς ἀπειλὰς [p. 394] ἐτεκμηρίου, κατέδεισε, καὶ ὑφεὶς τοῦ φρονήματος ἔπεμψεν ἱκετεύων μὴ πολεμηθῆναι, τήν τε Ἀρμενίαν Παρθαμασίριδι Πακόρου καὶ αὐτῷ υἱεῖ ᾔτει, καὶ ἐδεῖτο τὸ διάδημα αὐτῷ πεμφθῆναι: [3] τὸν γὰρ Ἐξηδάρην ὡς οὐκ ἐπιτήδειον οὔτε τοῖς Ῥωμαίοις οὔτε τοῖς Πάρθοις ὄντα πεπαυκέναι ἔλεγεν. 2 καὶ ὃς οὔτε τὰ δῶρα ἔλαβεν, οὔτ᾽ ἄλλο τι ἀπεκρίνατο ἢ καὶ ἐπέστειλε 3 πλὴν ὅτι ἡ φιλία ἔργοις καὶ οὐ λόγοις κρίνεται, καὶ διὰ τοῦτ᾽, ἐπειδὰν ἐς τὴν Συρίαν ἔλθῃ, πάντα τὰ προσήκοντα ποιήσει. καὶ οὕτω διανοίας ὢν διά 4 τε τῆς Ἀσίας καὶ διὰ Λυκίας τῶν τε ἐχομένων ἐθνῶν ”
