[242] ἐναργῆ δὲ πίστιν δύνασθε λαβεῖν ἐξ ὧν ὁρᾶτε· πᾶσαν μὲν Αἴγυπτον ἐπιτέτραμμαι, τιμὴν δὲ ἔχω τὴν πρώτην παρὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ μὲ νέον ὄντα πρεσβύτερος ὢν ὡς πατέρα τιμᾷ· θεραπεύομαί
τε οὐχ ὑπὸ τῶν ἐγχωρίων μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ὑπὸ πλείστων ἄλλων ἐθνῶν, ὅσα καὶ ὑπήκοα καὶ αὐτόνομα· χρεῖα γὰρ πάντα διὰ τὴν ἔνδειαν προεστῶτος.

[242] And in the very outset you may receive a proof of what I say in the things which you see. I am the governor of all the land of Egypt, and the honours which I enjoy are next to those of the king himself, and the aged monarch honours me, though I am only a young man, as if I were his father; and I am honoured and obeyed not only by the people of the country but also by numerous other nations, whether they are subject to Egypt or independent; for they all have need of me, the governor of the land, by reason of their present scarcity.
