ἐνταῦθʼ ὁμοίως Δημοσθένης μὲν ἐκύρωσε πόλεμον, καλὴν μὲν τοῖς ὀνόμασιν, οὐ σωτήριον δὲ τοῖς ἔργοις συμβουλίαν εἰσηγησάμενος τοῖς πολίταις· ὡς δὲ πλησίον ἔστη τῆς Ἀττικῆς ὁ πολέμιος,ἡ χώρα δὲ εἰς τὴν πόλιν κατεκλείετο, καὶ τὸ περιμάχητον καὶ θαυμαζόμενον ὑπὸ πάντων ἄστυ βοῶν καὶ προβάτων ὥσπερ ἔπαυλις καὶ τῶν βοσκημάτων ἐπληροῦτο, βοηθείας δʼ οὐδαμόθεν ἦν ἐλπίς, ἔγραψα τὴν εἰρήνην.
