Dat. 3.1Cuius factī nē prius fāma ad rēgem quam ipse pervenīret, dedit operam.He took care that the report of this deed should not reach the king before he himself did. Dat. 3.1Itaque omnibus īnsciīs eō, ubi erat rēx, vēnit posterōque diē Thuyn, hominem maximī corporis terribilīque faciē, quod et niger et capillō longō barbaque erat prōmissa, optimā veste tēxit, quam satrapae rēgiī gerere cōnsuērant, ōrnāvit etiam torque atque armillīs aureīs cēterōque rēgiō cultū;And so, without anyone knowing, he came to the place where the king was, and on the following day he took Thuys, a man of huge body and fearsome appearance, since he was dark and had long hair and a flowing beard, and clothed him in the finest robe, such as the king's satraps were accustomed to wear, and adorned him also with a necklace and golden bracelets and the rest of the royal finery; Dat. 3.2ipse agrestī duplicī amiculō circumdatus hirtāque tunicā, gerēns in capite galeam vēnātōriam, dextrā manū clāvam, sinistrā cōpulam, ita vinctum ante sē Thuynem agēbat, ut sī feram bēstiam captam dūceret.he himself, wrapped in a rustic double cloak and a shaggy tunic, wearing a hunting helmet on his head and holding a club in his right hand and a leash in his left, drove Thuys before him, bound, just as if he were leading a wild beast he had caught.
Dat. 3.3Quae cum omnēs aspicerent propter novitātem ōrnātūs ignōtamque fōrmam ob eamque rem magnus esset concursus, fuit nōnnēmō quī agnōsceret Thuyn rēgīque nūntiāret.While everyone was gazing at this because of the strangeness of the attire and the unfamiliar figure, and a great crowd was gathering on that account, there was someone who recognised Thuys and reported it to the king. Dat. 3.4Prīmō nōn accrēdidit itaque Pharnabazum mīsit explōrātum.At first the king did not believe it, and so he sent Pharnabazus to find out. Dat. 3.4Ā quō ut rem gestam comperit, statim admittī iussit, magnō opere dēlectātus cum factō tum ōrnātū, inprīmīs quod nōbilis rēx in potestātem inopīnantī vēnerat.When he learned from him what had been done, he at once ordered them to be admitted, greatly delighted both with the deed and with the costume, above all because a noble king had come into his power when he least expected it. Dat. 3.5Itaque magnificē Datamēn dōnātum ad exercitum mīsit, quī tum contrahēbātur duce Pharnabazō et Tithraustē ad bellum Aegyptium, parīque eum atque illōs imperiō esse iussit.And so he sent Datames, magnificently rewarded, to the army which was then being assembled under the command of Pharnabazus and Tithraustes for the Egyptian war, and ordered him to hold command equal to theirs.
Dat. 3.5Posteā vērō quam Pharnabazum rēx revocāvit, illī summa imperiī trādita est.But after the king recalled Pharnabazus, the supreme command was handed over to him.
