Translation
King of [the] Armenians,1 who had a body of moderate size but attained greatness in mind toward all things, not least in the deeds of war. He was thought to have become a stern protector of justice and [a man] in his daily life chastened no less than the greatest of both the Greeks and the Romans.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Σανατρούκης, Ἀρμενίων βασιλεύς, ὃς τὸ μὲν σῶμα ξύμμετρον εἶχε, τὴν γνώμην δὲ μέγας ἐτύγχανεν εἰς ἅπαντα, οὐχ ἥκιστα δὲ εἰς τὰ ἔργα τὰ πολέμια. ἐδόκει δὲ καὶ τοῦ δικαίου φύλαξ ἀκριβὴς γενέσθαι καὶ τὰ ἐς τὴν δίαιταν ἴσα καὶ τοῖς κρατίστοις Ἑλλήνων τε καὶ Ῥωμαίων κεκολασμένος.
