Quamquam quid hoc quasi inusitatum illis gentibus miremur, cum Sariaster adversus patrem suum Tigranen, Armeniae regem, ita cum amicis consenserit ut omnes <e d>exteris manibus sanguinem mitterent atque eum invicem sorberent? vix ferrem pro salute parentis tam cruenta conspiratione foedus facientem.
Yet why should we wonder at this as though it was something unfamiliar to those nations when Sariaster conspired with his friends against his father Tigranes, king of Armenia, all of them letting blood from their right hands and sucking it in turn? I should find it hard to tolerate one making so sanguinary a pact in a conspiracy for his fathers welfare.
