οὐδὲ Μαύσωλον ζῶντα, οὐδὲ τελευτήσαντος ἐκείνου τὴν Ἀρτεμισίαν οὐδείς ἐσθʼ ὁ διδάξων μὴ καταλαμβάνειν Κῶν καὶ Ῥόδον καὶ ἄλλας ἑτέρας πόλεις Ἑλληνίδας, ὧν βασιλεὺς ὁ ʼκείνων δεσπότης ἐν ταῖς συνθήκαις ἀπέστη τοῖς Ἕλλησι, καὶ περὶ ὧν πολλοὺς κινδύνους καὶ καλοὺς ἀγῶνας οἱ κατʼ ἐκείνους τοὺς χρόνους Ἕλληνες ἐποιήσαντο. εἰ δʼ ἄρα καὶ λέγει τις ἀμφοτέροις αὐτοῖς, ἀλλʼ οἵ γε πεισόμενοι τούτοις, ὡς ἔοικεν, οὐκ εἰσίν.
