普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导

While these things passed in Achaea, Dinocrates, fearing that any delay would save Philopoemen, and resolving to be beforehand with the Achaeans, as soon as night had dispersed the multitude, sent in the executioner with poison, with orders not to stir from him till he had taken it. Philopoemen had then laid down, wrapt up in his cloak, not sleeping, but oppressed with grief and trouble; but seeing light, and a man with poison by him, struggled to sit up; and, taking the cup, asked the man if he heard anything of the horsemen, particularly Lycortas? The fellow answering, that the most part had got off safe, he nodded, and looking cheerfully upon him, "It is well," he said, "that we have not been every way unfortunate;" and without a word more, drank it off, and laid him down, again. His weakness offering but little resistance to the poison, it dispatched him presently.

白话

当这些事情在亚该亚发生时,狄诺克拉底害怕任何拖延会救了菲洛波义曼,决心先发制人,趁夜色驱散人群后,派刽子手带着毒药进去,命令他不许离开直到菲洛波义曼服毒。菲洛波义曼当时已躺下,裹着斗篷,没有睡着,而是被悲伤和烦恼压着;但看到灯光和一个人带着毒药,挣扎着坐起来;接过杯子,问那人是否听到骑兵的消息,特别是吕科塔斯?那人回答大部分已安全逃脱,他点点头,愉快地看着他,说:“很好,我们并非各方面都不幸;”再没说一句话,一饮而尽,又躺下。他的虚弱对毒药抵抗甚微,毒药立刻结束了他的生命。
