Perfidiam hominum, a quibus pro summis beneficiis crudelissimum exitium Dareus pertulit, quamquam suapte natura horrendam et execrabilem, insigniore ad posteritatem infamia notavit canis cuiusdam mira fides, qui ab omnibus familiaribus destituto solus adfuit et eandem quam vivo adulationem morienli praestitit.
The treachery of the men at whose hands Darius suffered a most cruel death in return for the greatest favours, although in its own nature horrifying and execrable, was marked with greater infamy for future generations by the wonderful faithfulness of a dog, which alone was with Darius when he was deserted by all his friends, and fawned upon him when he was dying as it had when he was alive.
