καὶ περὶ μὲν τῆς βοηθείας ταῦτα γιγνώσκω· περὶ δὲ χρημάτων πόρου, ἔστιν, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, χρήμαθʼ ὑμῖν, ἔστιν ὅσʼ οὐδενὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀνθρώπων · ταῦτα δʼ ὑμεῖς οὕτως ὡς βούλεσθε λαμβάνετε. εἰ μὲν οὖν ταῦτα τοῖς στρατευομένοις ἀποδώσετε, οὐδενὸς ὑμῖν προσδεῖ πόρου, εἰ δὲ μή, προσδεῖ, μᾶλλον δʼ ἅπαντος ἐνδεῖ τοῦ πόρου. τί οὖν; ἄν τις εἴποι, σὺ γράφεις ταῦτʼ εἶναι στρατιωτικά; μὰ Δίʼ οὐκ ἔγωγε.
