Ex captivis Sogdianorum ad regem xxx nobilissimi coiporum robore eximio perducti erant; qui ubi per interpretem cognoverunt iussu regis ipsos ad supplicium trahi, carmen laetantium modo canere tripudiisque et lasciviori corporis motu gaudium quoddam animi ostentare  coeperunt.
Of the prisoners of the Sogdiani thirty of the noblest born, men of extraordinary strength of body, had been brought in to the king; when these learned through an interpreter that they were being led to execution by order of the king, they began to sing a song as if rejoicing, and to show a kind of pleasure by dances and by wanton movements of their  bodies.
