Besedilo
Ribič in njegova piščal
As soon as the Lydians had been conquered by the Persians, the Ionians and Aeolians sent messengers to Cyrus at Sardis, wishing to be his subjects on the same terms as they had been subjects of Croesus. When Cyrus heard their proposal, he told them a story. A flute-player, he said, once saw some fish in the sea and began to play, thinking they would come out onto the shore. When his hopes were disappointed, he took a casting-net, caught a great many fish, and hauled them ashore. Seeing them leaping about, he said to them, “Stop your dancing now! You would not come out and dance when I played for you.” Cyrus told the Ionians and Aeolians this story because earlier, when he had sent messengers asking the Ionians to revolt against Croesus, they had refused to listen; but now, when all was settled, they were ready to obey Cyrus.

Ἴωνες καὶ Αἰολέες, ὡς οἱ Λυδοὶ τάχιστα κατεστράφατο ὑπὸ Περσέων, ἔπεμπον ἀγγέλους ἐς Σάρδις παρὰ Κῦρον, ἐθέλοντες ἐπὶ τοῖσι αὐτοῖσι εἶναι τοῖσι καὶ Κροίσῳ ἔσαν κατήκοοι. Ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας αὐτέων τὰ προΐσχοντο ἔλεξέ σφι λόγον, ἄνδρα φὰς αὐλητὴν, ἰδόντα ἰχθῦς ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, αὐλέειν, δοκέοντά σφεας ἐξελεύ- σεσθαι ἐς γῆν· ὡς δὲ ψευσθῆναι τῆς ἐλπίδος, λαβεῖν ἀμφίβληστρον καὶ περιβαλεῖν τε πλῆθος πολλὸν τῶν ἰχθύων καὶ ἐξειρύσαι· ἰδόντα δὲ παλλομένους, εἰπεῖν ἄρα αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἰχθῦς· „παύεσθέ μοι ὀρχεόμενοι, ἐπεὶ οὐδʼ ἐμέο αὐλέοντος ἠθέλετε ἐκβαίνειν ὀρχεόμενοι. “Κῦρος μὲν τοῦτον τὸν λόγον τοῖσι Ἴωσι καὶ τοῖσι Αἰολεῦσι τῶνδε εἵνεκα ἔλεξε, ὅτι δὴ οἱ Ἴωνες πρότερον, αὐτοῦ Κύρου δεηθέντος διʼ ἀγγέλων ἀπίστασθαί σφεας ἀπὸ Κροίσου, οὐκ ἐπείθοντο, τότε δὲ, κατεργασμένων τῶν πρηγμάτων, ἔσαν ἕτοιμοι πείθεσθαι Κύρῳ.
