τῶν
δὲ Γαλατῶν οἱ Σκορδίσται καλούμενοι χρυσὸν μὲν οὐκ
εἰσάγουσιν εἰς τὴν αὑτῶν χώραν, λῃζόμενοι δὲ τὴν ἀλλοτρίαν καὶ ἀδικοῦντες <τὸν ἄργυρον> οὐ παραλείπουσι.
τὸ δ᾽ ἔθνος αὐτῶν ἐστι μὲν λείψανον τῶν μετὰ Βρέννου
στρατευσαμένων ἐπὶ τὸ Δελφικὸν μαντεῖον Γαλατῶν,
Βαθάναττος δέ τις ἡγεμὼν αὐτοὺς διῴκισεν ἐπὶ τοὺς
περὶ τὸν Ἴστρον τόπους .... ἀφ᾽ ἧς καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν δι᾽
ἧς ἐνόστησαν Βαθαναττίαν καλοῦσι καὶ τοὺς ἀπογόνους
τοὺς ἐκείνου Βαθανάττους ἔτι καὶ νῦν προσαγορεύουσιν.
ἀφωσιώκασι δὲ οὗτοι τὸν χρυσὸν καὶ οὐκ εἰσφέρουσιν
εἰς τὰς πατρίδας, δι᾽ ὃν πολλὰ καὶ δεινὰ ἔπαθον:
ἀργύρῳ δὲ χρῶνται καὶ τούτου χάριν πολλὰ καὶ δεινὰ
ποιοῦσιν. καίτοι γε ἐχρῆν οὐχὶ τὸ γένος τοῦ συληθέντος, ἀλλὰ τὴν ἱεροσυλήσασαν ἀσέβειαν ἐξορίσαι:
εἰ δὲ μηδὲ τὸν ἄργυρον εἰσέφερον εἰς τὴν χώραν, ἢ
περὶ τὸν χαλκὸν ἂν καὶ σίδηρον ἐπλημμέλουν ἢ εἰ μηδὲ
ταῦτ᾽ ἦν παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς, περὶ τῶν βρωτῶν καὶ ποτῶν καὶ
τῶν ἄλλων ἀναγκαίων ὁπλομανοῦντες ἂν διετέλουν.'
