ANACHARSIS TO CRŒSUS
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Diogenes Laertius and Yonge, Charles Duke
O king of the Lydians, I am come to the country of the Greeks, in order to become acquainted with their customs and institutions; but I have no need of gold, and shall be quite contented if I return to Scythia a better man than I left it. However I will come to Sardis, as I think it very desirable to become a friend of yours.
