[230] ἔλεος οὖν εἰσελθέτω σε γήρως ἀνδρὸς τοὺς ἀρετῆς ἄθλους κατὰ πᾶσαν ἡλικίαν διαπονήσαντος· τὰς κατὰ Συρίαν πόλεις εἰς ἀποδοχὴν αὑτοῦ καὶ τιμὴν ἐπέστρεψε, καίτοι ξενικωτέροις ἔθεσι καὶ νομίμοις καὶ πολὺ διεστῶσι χρώμενος, οὐ
βραχεῖ τινι τῶν ἐγχωρίων ἠλλοτριωμένος· ἀλλ’ ἡ τοῦ βίου καλοκἀγαθία καὶ τὸ σύμφωνον καὶ ὁμολογούμενον πρὸς ἔργα λόγων καὶ πρὸς λόγους ἔργων ἐξενίκησεν, ὡς καὶ τοὺς ἕνεκα p. 74 M. τῶν πατρίων μὴ εὐγνώμονας μεθαρμόσασθαι.

[230] "Let, then, compassion for the age of the old man seize your heart, who during his whole life has constantly devoted himself to the labours of virtue. He has brought all the cities of Syria to receive him, and to submit to his authority, and to do him honour; even though he guides himself by foreign customs and laws very different from them, and although he is in all respects very unlike the natives of the land. But the excellence of his life, and the consistency and uniformity of his actions with his words, and of his words with his actions, have prevailed, so that he has been able to win over those who, out of regard for their national customs, were not at first well-disposed towards him.
