ἐπεὶ ὅτι γε τοῦτο παράδυσις ἦν κατὰ μικρὸν καὶ ἐθισμὸς τοῦ ἀνέχεσθαι ἡμᾶς τοὺς τοιούτους εἴσπλους, κἀκεῖθεν δῆλον· τῷ γὰρ τὸν τότε ἐπὶ τῆς νεὼς εἰσπλεύσαντα, ὃν ἔδει εὐθὺς μετὰ τῆς τριήρους ὑφʼ ὑμῶν ἀπολωλέναι, αἰτεῖσθαι ναυπηγήσασθαι μικρὰ πλοῖα ἐν τοῖς ἡμετέροις λιμέσι πῶς οὐ καταφανὲς ὅτι ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰσπλεῖν τὸ εὐθὺς ἔνδον εἶναι ἐμηχανῶντο; καὶ εἰ λεπτὰ πλοῖα ὑπομενοῦμεν, ὀλίγον ὕστερον καὶ τριήρεις· καὶ εἰ τὸ πρῶτον ὀλίγας, μικρῷ ὕστερον πολλάς.
