Translation
A Galatian; [the man] who, as one of the kings1 in Asia, attempted to bring the entire Galatian power-structure under his control. And he possessed many assets, both natural and acquired, for this task: he was generous and warlike and powerful in military matters.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὀρτιάγων, Γαλάτης· ὃς ἐπεβάλετο τῶν ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ βασιλεύων τὴν ἁπάντων τῶν Γαλατῶν δυναστείαν εἰς αὑτὸν μεταστῆσαι καὶ πολλὰ πρὸς τοῦτο τὸ μέρος ἐφόδια προεβάλλετο καὶ φύσει καὶ τριβῇ. καὶ γὰρ εὐεργετικὸς ἦν καὶ πολεμικὸς καὶ δυναμικὸς πρὸς πολεμικὰς χρείας.
