Fortuitous Poem by Arrian

No matter who I am that make this claim.

I need not declare my name-
Though it is by no mean unheard of in the world;
I need not specify my country and family,
Or any official position I may have held.
Rather let me say this:
That this book of mine is,
And has been from my youth,
More precious than country and kin and public advancement-
Indeed, for me it is these things
