[260] ὡς δ’ ἧκον οἱ ἐν τέλει τῶν κατὰ τὴν χώραν συναλγήσοντες, ἰδόντες οὐδὲν τῶν ἐν ἔθει παρ’ αὐτοῖς γινομένων ἐπὶ τοῖς πενθοῦσιν, οὐκ ὀλόφυρσιν, οὐ θρῆνον, οὐ κοπετόν, οὐκ ἀνδρῶν, οὐ γυναικῶν,
ἀλλὰ τῆς συμπάσης οἰκίας εὐσταθῆ καὶ νηφάλιον κατήφειαν, ἐθαύμαζον οὐ μετρίως καὶ τὸν ἄλλον βίον προκαταπεπληγμένοι τοῦ ἀνδρός.

[260] And when the magistrates of that country came to sympathise with him in his sorrow, seeing none of the customary signs of woe which were usually exhibited in their land by mourners, no loud wailing or howling, no beating of the breast, no loud cries of men or women, but a steady, sober depression of spirits on the part of the whole household, they marvelled exceedingly, even though they had been previously full of astonishment and admiration at all the rest of the man’s way of life.
