[7]
Moreover, I have lived to see my friends made¹ prosperous and happy through my efforts and my enemies reduced by me to subjection; and my country, which once played no great part in Asia , I now leave honoured above all. Of all my conquests, there is not once that I have not maintained. Throughout the past I have fared even as I have wished; but a fear that was ever at my side, lest in the time to come I might see or hear or experience something unpleasant, would not let me become overweeningly proud or extravagantly happy.

[7] καὶ τοὺς μὲν φίλους ἐπεῖδον διʼ ἐμοῦ εὐδαίμονας γενομένους, τοὺς δὲ πολεμίους ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ δουλωθέντας· καὶ τὴν πατρίδα πρόσθεν ἰδιωτεύουσαν ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ νῦν προτετιμημένην καταλείπω· ὧν τʼ ἐκτησάμην οὐδὲν οἶδα ὅ τι οὐ διεσωσάμην. καὶ τὸν μὲν παρελθόντα χρόνον ἔπραττον οὕτως ὥσπερ ηὐχόμην· φόβος δέ μοι συμπαρομαρτῶν μή τι ἐν τῷ ἐπιόντι χρόνῳ ἢ ἴδοιμι ἢ ἀκούσαιμι ἢ πάθοιμι χαλεπόν, οὐκ εἴα τελέως με μέγα φρονεῖν οὐδʼ εὐφραίνεσθαι ἐκπεπταμένως.
