Xenophon [writes]: "Cyrus led the Lydian prisoners, and those he saw making themselves look good and trying to please him he let [remain] with their weapons; but those he saw following ungraciously, he gave their horses to the Persians and burned their weapons."1
Soa)xari/stws [means] without goodwill.2

Greek original
Ἀχαρίστως· Ξενοφῶν· Κῦρος δὲ ἦγε Λυδῶν αἰχμαλώτους, καὶ οὓς μὲν ἑώρα καλλωπιζομένους καὶ πειρωμένους αὐτῷ χαριεῖσθαι, τούτους εἴα σὺν τοῖς ὅπλοις, οὓς δὲ ἑώρα ἀχαρίστως ἐπιμένοντας, τούτων τοὺς ἵππους παρέδωκε τοῖς Πέρσαις, τὰ δὲ ὅπλα κατέκαυσεν. Ἀχαρίστως οὖν ἄνευ χάριτος.
