Persae, comis suo more detonsis, in lugubri veste cum coniugibus ac liberis, non ut victorem et modo hostem, sed ut gentis suae iustissimum regem vero desiderio lugebant, ac sueti sub rege vivere, non alium qui imperaret ipsis digniorem fuisse confitebantur.
The Persians, having shaved their hair according to custom, in mourning garb with their wives and children grieved for the king, not as their conqueror and recently their enemy, but with genuine longing as their own nations most just ruler, and used as they were to live under a king, they confessed that none other had been more worthy to rule them.
