ὅτε δὴ οὖν Ἀρβάκης, εἷς τῶν ὑπ᾽ αὐτὸν στρατηγῶν Μῆδος γένος, διεπράξατο διά τινος τῶν εὐνούχων Σπαραμείζου θεάσασθαι Σαρδανάπαλλον καὶ μόλις αὐτῷ ἐπετράπη ἐκείνου ἐθελήσαντος, ὡς εἰσελθὼν εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ Μῆδος ἐψιμυθιωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον γυναικιστὶ καὶ μετὰ τῶν παλλακίδων ξαίνοντα πορφύραν ἀναβάδην τε μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καθήμενον,,τὰς ὀφρῦς μεμελασμένον, γυναικείαν δὲ στολὴν ἔχοντα καὶ κατεξυρημένον τὸν πώγωνα καὶ κατακεκισηρισμένον ἦν δὲ καὶ γάλακτος λευκότερος καὶ ὑπεγέγραπτο τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς ἐπεὶ δὲ καὶ προσεῖδεν τὸν Ἀρβάκην τὰ λευκὰ ἐπαναβαλὼν τοῖν ὀφθαλμοῖν οἱ μὲν πολλοί, ὧν ἐστι καὶ Δοῦρις, ἱστοροῦσιν ὑπὸ τούτου ἀγανακτήσαντος εἰ τοιοῦτος αὐτῶν βασιλεύει συγκεντηθέντα ἀποθανεῖν
