Herodoti
Halicarnassensis historia hic edatur, ne facta hominum tempore exolescant, et
ne gesta magna atque mirabilia, atque Gæcorum atque barbarorum, desinant cluere;
et inter alia ut indicatur quare inter se pugnaverint.
Ἡροδότου Ἁλικαρνησσέος
ἱστορίης ἀπόδεξις ἥδε, ὡς μήτε τὰ γενόμενα ἐξ ἀνθρώπων τῷ χρόνῳ ἐξίτηλα
γένηται, μήτε ἔργα μεγάλα τε καὶ θωμαστά, τὰ μὲν Ἕλλησι τὰ δὲ βαρβάροισι ἀποδεχθέντα,
ἀκλεᾶ γένηται, τά τε ἄλλα καὶ δι’ ἣν αἰτίην ἐπολέμησαν ἀλλήλοισι.
The
history of Herodotus of Halicarnassus is here displayed, so that the works of
men do not become lost in time, and great and marvellous deeds, some done by
Greeks and others by foreigners, do not lose their glory; and among other
things to show the cause of their fighting one another.
—Herodoti Halicarnassensis Novem Libri Historiarum (Herodotus, Histories)
