77. However I have heard also another story, told by the Peloponnesians, that Anacharsis was sent out by the king of the Scythians, and so made himself a disciple of Hellas; and that when he returned back he said to him that had sent him forth, that the Hellenes were all busied about every kind of cleverness except the Lacedemonians; but these alone knew how to exchange speech sensibly.
77. Baina beste istorio bat ere entzuna dut peloponesoarrengandik, zera dioena: Anakharsis, szythiarren erregeak bidalirik, Heladeko ikasle izan omen zen; eta, berriro itzuli zenean, bidali zuenari heleniar guztiak, lazedemondarrak izan ezik, atseden gabe jakintza orori emanak zeudela esan omen zion, baina zuhurki hitz egin edota entzun, azkeneko hauei bakarrik egin ziezaiekeela.
