[136] ποῦ δὲ ἡ τῶν Πτολεμαίων οἰκία καὶ ἡ καθ’ ἕκαστον τῶν διαδόχων ἐπιφάνεια μέχρι γῆς καὶ θαλάττης περάτων ἐκλάμψασα; ποῦ δ’ αἱ τῶν αὐτονόμων ἐθνῶν καὶ πόλεων ἐλευθερίαι; ποῦ δ’ ἔμπαλιν αἱ δουλεῖαι τῶν
ὑπηκόων; οὐ Πέρσαι μὲν Παρθυαίων ἐπεκράτουν, νυνὶ δὲ Περσῶν Παρθυαῖοι διὰ τὰς τῶν ἀνθρωπείων πραγμάτων στροφὰς καὶ τὰς ἄνω καὶ κάτω πεττείας καὶ μεταθέσεις αὐτῶν;

On the Life of a Man occupied with Affairs of State, or on Joseph First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 136 focus

[136] Where is the house of the Ptolemies, and the glory of all the individual successors of Alexander which at one time shone over all the bounds both of earth and sea? Where is the liberty of so many independent nations and cities? On the other hand, where is the slavery of those which were subject to them? Did not the Persians at one time reign over the Parthians? and do not the Parthians now, through the changes of human affairs, and through the extraordinary and total alterations which are continually taking place, rule over the Persians?
