Πρὸς ταῦτα ὁ Κῦρος εἶπε τοῖς παροῦσιν. Ὁ μὲν ἀνὴρ τοιαῦτα μὲν πεποίηκε, τοιαῦτα δὲ λέγει· ὑμῶν δὲ σὺ πρῶτος, ὦ Κλέαρχε, ἀπόφηναι γνώμην εἴ τί σοι δοκεῖ. Κλέαρχος δὲ εἶπε τάδε· συμβουλεύω ἐγὼ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον ἐκποδὼν ποιεῖσθαι ὡς τάχιστα, ὡς μηκέτι δέῃ τοῦτον φυλάττεσθαι, ἀλλὰ σχολὴ ᾖ ἡμῖν τὸ κατὰ τοῦτον εἶναι τοὺς ἐθελοντὰς φίλους τούτους εὖ ποιεῖν· ταύτῃ δὲ τῇ γνώμῃ ἔφη καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους προςθέσθαι. Μετὰ ταῦτα, ἔφη, κελεύοντος Κύρου, ἔλαβον τῆς ζώνης τὸν Ορόντην ἐπὶ θανάτῳ ἅπαντες ἀναστάντες καὶ οἱ συγγενεῖς· εἶτα δὲ ἐξῆγον αὐτὸν οἷς προςετάχθη.
