“19. ὅτι ὁ Παρθαμάσιρις βίαιόν τι ἐποίησε. γράψας δὲ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα τῷ Τραϊανῷ ὡς βασιλεύς, ἐπειδὴ μηδὲν ἀντεγράφη, ἐπέστειλέ ¹ τε αὖθις τὸ ὄνομα τοῦτο περικόψας, καὶ ᾔτησε Μᾶρκον Ἰούνιον τὸν τῆς Καππαδοκίας ἄρχοντα πεμφθῆναί [2] οἱ ὡς καὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ τι αἰτησόμενος. ὁ οὖν Τραϊανὸς ἐκείνῳ μὲν τὸν τοῦ Ἰουνίου υἱὸν ἔπεμψεν, αὐτὸς δὲ μέχρις Ἀρσαμοσάτων ² προχωρήσας ³ καὶ ἀμαχεὶ αὐτὰ παραλαβὼν ἐς τὰ Σάταλα ⁴ ἦλθε, καὶ Ἀγχίαλον τὸν Ἡνιόχων τε καὶ Μαχελόνων βασιλέα δώροις ἠμείψατο. ἐν δὲ Ἐλεγείᾳ τῆς Ἀρμενίας τὸν Παρθαμάσιριν [3] προσεδέξατο. καθῆστο δὲ ἐπὶ βήματος ἐν τῷ ταφρεύματι: καὶ ὃς ἀσπασάμενος αὐτὸν τό τε διάδημα ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἀφεῖλε καὶ πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ἔθηκε, σιγῇ τε εἱστήκει, καὶ προσεδόκα αὐτὸ ἀπολήψεσθαι. συμβοησάντων δὲ ἐπὶ [p. 398] τούτῳ τῶν στρατιωτῶν, καὶ αὐτοκράτορα τὸν Τραϊανὸν ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ νίκῃ τινὶ ἐπικαλεσάντων [4] ῾νίκην γὰρ ἀσέλινον ⁵ ἄναιμον ὠνόμαζον ὅτι τὸν βασιλέα τὸν Ἀρσακίδην, τὸν Πακόρου παῖδα, τὸν Ὀρρόου ἀδελφιδοῦν, προσεστηκότα αὐτῷ ἄνευ διαδήματος εἶδον ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον᾽, ἐξεπλάγη τε καὶ ἐνόμισεν ἐπὶ ὕβρει καὶ ὀλέθρῳ [5] αὑτοῦ ⁶ γεγονέναι. καὶ μετεστράφη μὲν ὡς καὶ φευξόμενος, ⁷ ἰδὼν δὲ ὅτι περιεστοίχισται ἐξῃτήσατο τὸ μὴ ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ τι εἰπεῖν. καὶ οὕτως ἐς τὴν σκηνὴν ἐσαχθεὶς οὐδενὸς ἔτυχεν ὧν ”
