Translation:
This man was a general of Chosroes.[1]
Menander [writes]: "but Tanchosdro, Chosroes' general, having collected not elephants and a mass of wild beasts and other such terrors -- suitable for a boast but in no way effective and weighty --, but [sc. instead] the men bravest at fighting and best armed, as an answer to [that] ignoble mass, having picked out those skilled in war."[2]
Greek Original:
Τανχοσδρώ: οὗτος στρατηγὸς ἦν τοῦ Χοσρόου. Μένανδρος: ὁ δὲ Τανχοσδρώ, ὁ τοῦ Χοσρόου στρατηγός, οὐχὶ ἐλέφαντάς τε καὶ ἀγροίκων ὅμιλον καὶ ἕτερα ἄττα φόβητρα κόμπῳ μὲν ἁρμόδια, ἐνεργὰ δὲ καὶ ἐμβριθῆ οὐδαμῶς, ἀλλὰ τοὺς μαχιμωτάτους τε καὶ εὐοπλοτάτους ἀγείρας πλήθους τε ἀγεννοῦς ἀντάλλαγμα τοὺς τὰ πολέμια δεινοὺς ἀποκρίνας.
