- 2013, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, chapter 7, in Roza Hakmen, transl., La Mancha'lı Yaratıcı Asilzade Don Quijote, volume 1, Yapı Kredi Yayınları, →ISBN, page 237:
- Don Quijote'nin adama söylediği şeylerden biri de, yolculuğa hevesle hazırlanması gerektiğiydi; çünkü öyle bir serüven çıkabilirdi ki karşısına, bir çırpıda bir cezire fetheder, silâhtarını da vali tayin ederdi. Sancho Panza, yani çiftçi, bu ve benzeri vaatlerle karısını, çocuklarını bırakıp komşusunun silâhtarı oldu.
- Don Quixote, among other things, told him he ought to be ready to go with him gladly, because any moment an adventure might occur that might win an island in the twinkling of an eye and leave him governor of it. On these and the like promises Sancho Panza (for so the labourer was called) left wife and children, and engaged himself as esquire to his neighbour.
