A trumpeter, captured by the enemy while rallying his army, cried out, “Do not kill me, men, for no reason and to no purpose! I have killed none of you; I possess no weapon but this trumpet.” They answered him, “That is all the more reason for you to die: though you cannot fight yourself, you rouse everyone else to battle.” The fable shows that those who incite wicked and oppressive rulers to do harm bear the greater blame.
Σαλπιγκτὴς, στρατὸν ἐπισυνάγων καὶ κρατηθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν πολεμίων, ἐβόα· ,,μὴ κτείνετέ με, ὦ ἄνδρες, εἰκῆ καὶ μάτην· οὐδένα γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀπέκτεινα· πλὴν γὰρ τοῦ χαλκοῦ τούτου οὐδὲν ἄλλο κτῶμαι.“ Οἱ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔφασαν· ,,διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ μᾶλλον τεθνήξῃ, ὅτι σὺ μὴ δυνάμενος πολεμεῖν, τοὺς πάντας πρὸς μάχην ἐγείρεις.“
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι πλέον πταίουσιν οἱ τοὺς κα κοὺς καὶ βαρεῖς δυνάστας ἐπεγείροντες εἰς τὸ κακοποιεῖν.
