Arrian in Parthica [writes]: "concerning Parthamasiros, it was not the determination of Axidares, but his own; because he was the first to break the agreements he met with punishment."1 Meaning responsibility, instigation.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Γνῶσις· Ἀρριανὸς ἐν Παρθικοῖς· περὶ Παρθαμασίρου δὲ, οὐχὶ Ἀξιδάρου εἶναι, ἀλλὰ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γνῶσιν· ὅτι πρῶτος παραβαίνων τὰ ξυγκείμενα ἔτυχε τῆς δίκης. ἀντὶ τοῦ τὴν αἰτίαν, τὴν ἀφορμήν.
