Patron se vero, sed remotis arbitris loqui velle cum eo respondit iussusque propius accedere sine interprete'nam haud rudis Graecae linguae Dareus erat': Rex, inquit, ex l milibus Graecorum supersumus pauci, omnis fortunae tuae comites et in hoc tuo statu eidem qui florente te fuimus quascumque terras elegeris pro patria et domesticis rebus petituri.
Patron replied that he did in fact wish to talk with him, but without witnesses, and when bidden to come nearer without an interpreter'for Darius was not unacquainted with the Greek language'he said: My king, out of 50,000 Greeks we are the few that are left, companions of all your fortune, and in your present state unchanged from what we were in your prosperity, ready to seek, in place of our native land and our homes, whatever lands you shall select.
