καὶ γὰρ οὖν ἄλλα τε πολλὰ δικαίως αὐτῷ διεχειρίζετο καὶ στρατεύματι ἀληθινῷ ἐχρήσατο . καὶ γὰρ στρατηγοὶ καὶ λοχαγοί , οἳ χρημάτων ἕνεκα πρὸς ἐκεῖνον ἔπλευσαν , ἔγνωσαν κερδαλεώτερον εἶναι Κύρῳ καλῶς πειθαρχεῖν ἢ τὸ κατὰ μῆνα κέρδος . ἀλλὰ μὴν εἴ τίς γέ τι αὐτῷ προστάξαντι καλῶς ὑπηρετήσειεν , οὐδενὶ πώποτε ἀχάριστον εἴασε τὴν προθυμίαν . τοιγαροῦν δὴ κράτιστοι ὑπηρέται παντὸς ἔργου Κύρῳ ἐλέχθησαν γενέσθαι . εἰ δέ τινα ὁρῴη δεινὸν ὄντα οἰκονόμον ἐκ τοῦ δικαίου καὶ κατασκευάζοντά τε ἧς ἄρχοι χώρας καὶ προσόδους ποιοῦντα , οὐδένα ἂν πώποτε ἀφείλετο , ἀλλ᾽ ἀεὶ πλείω προσεδίδου : ὥστε καὶ ἡδέως ἐπόνουν καὶ θαρραλέως ἐκτῶντο καὶ ὃ ἐπέπατο αὖ τις ἥκιστα Κῦρον ἔκρυπτεν : οὐ γὰρ φθονῶν τοῖς φανερῶς πλουτοῦσιν ἐφαίνετο , ἀλλὰ πειρώμενος χρῆσθαι τοῖς τῶν ἀποκρυπτομένων χρήμασι .
For
,
in
fact
,
he
not
only
justly
managed
others
(
of
other
sorts
)
and
many
[
things
]
for
himself
,
but
he
also
furnished
himself
with
a
true
army
.
For
both
generals
and
company
leaders
,
who
for
the
sake
of
money
sailed
towards
him
,
determined
it
to
be
more
gainful
to
obey
Cyrus
nobly
than
[
to
receive
]
pay
per
month
.
Besides
,
indeed
,
if
someone
at
least
did
any
service
well
with
[
Cyrus
]
having
ordered
him
,
he
[
the
king
]
did
not
ever
permit
his
eagerness
to
be
thankless
.
Therefore
,
indeed
,
the
best
servants
of
every
work
were
said
to
be
gotten
(
to
come
into
being
)
for
Cyrus
.
But
if
he
sees
someone
clever
from
the
just
being
an
administrator
,
not
only
equipping
the
country
which
he
rules
but
also
making
income
,
he
not
ever
takes
[
things
]
away
from
him
,
but
was
always
giving
[
him
]
more
:
so
that
they
were
both
gladly
laboring
and
courageously
acquiring
,
and
moreover
,
one
least
concealed
from
Cyrus
that
which
he
had
acquired
:
for
he
did
not
show
visibly
bearing
ill-will
to
those
who
are
rich
,
but
showed
attempting
to
use
those
possessions
of
those
hiding
wealth
.
