καὶ μὴν οὐδʼ ἐκεῖνο καλόν, ζῶντα μὲν αὐτὸν οὕτω τιμᾶν ὥστε τοσούτων ὅσων ἀκηκόατʼ ἀξιοῦν, ἐπειδὴ δὲ τετελεύτηκεν, ἀφελέσθαι τι τῶν δοθέντων τότε. πολλὰ μὲν γάρ ἐστιν, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, τῶν ὑπʼ ἐκείνου πραχθέντων ἄξιʼ ἐπαίνου, διʼ ἃ πάντα προσήκει μὴ λύειν τὰς ἐπὶ τούτοις δοθείσας δωρειάς, κάλλιστον δὲ πάντων ἡ τῶν τειχῶν ἀνάστασις.
