"Raja Croesus, yang menyaksikan tentara Persia memecat [ibukotanya], seharusnya bertanya kepada Raja Persia, Cyrus, 'Apa yang ingin dilakukan oleh semua orang itu?' "Mereka merampok kota Anda dan membawa harta Anda," jawab Cyrus. "Bukan kota saya atau harta saya," Croesus mengoreksinya. “Tidak ada lagi milik saya. Andalah yang mereka rampok. '"

Versi Bahasa Inggris

King Croesus, watching Persian soldiers sack [his capital city], is supposed to have asked the Persian King Cyrus, 'What is it that all those men of yours are so intent upon doing?' 'They are plundering your city and carrying off your treasures,' Cyrus replied. 'Not my city or my treasures,' Croesus corrected him. 'Nothing there any longer belongs to me. It is you they are robbing.'
