Per ego vos decora maiorum, qui totius Orientis regna cum memorabili laude tenuerunt, per illos viros, quibus stipendium Macedonia quondam tulit, per tot navium classes in Graeciam missas, per tot tropaea regum oro et obtestor ut nobilitate vestra gentisque dignos spiritus capiatis, ut eadem constantia animorum qua praeterita tolerastis experiamini quidquid deinde Fors tulerit; me certe in perpetuum aut victoria egregia nobilitabit aut ruina.
By the honour of your forefathers, who held the rule of the entire Orient with noteworthy glory, by those men to whom Macedonia formerly paid tribute, by those many fleets of ships sent against Greece, by those many trophies of your kings, I beg and implore you to assume the courage worthy of your fame and that of your nation, in order that with the same resolute spirits with which you endured the evils of the past you may meet whatever Fortune may hereafter allot; on me at any rate either a glorious victory or my overthrow will confer eternal fame.
