ἐκ μέν γε τῶν πρὸς τοὺς ἑαυτοῦ προγόνους πολέμων σύνοιδε τὴν πόλιν εὐδαίμονα καὶ μεγάλην γεγενημένην, ἐκ δὲ τῆς ἡσυχίας ἧς ἦγέ ποτε, οὐδεμιᾶς τῶν Ἑλληνίδων πόλεων τοσοῦτον ὅσον νῦν ὑπεραίρουσαν. καὶ μὴν καὶ τοὺς Ἕλληνας ὁρᾷ δεομένους ἤτοι τινὸς ἑκουσίου ἢ ἀκουσίου διαλλακτοῦ, τοῦτον δʼ αὑτὸν ἂν οἶδε φανέντʼ αὐτοῖς, εἰ πόλεμον κινοίη. ὥστε καὶ γνώριμα καὶ πίστʼ αὐτῷ τῶν ἀπαγγελλόντων ἀκούειν ἔσται.
