ὅτε δʼ οὕτω ταῦτʼ ἔχει, σκεπτέον ὅπως μήθʼ ἡμεῖς ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ γενησόμεθʼ οὐκ ἴσοι, μήτʼ ἐκεῖνος, ὃν ἡμεῖς ἐπιβουλεύειν ἡγούμεθα τοῖς Ἕλλησι, τὴν τοῦ φίλος αὐτοῖς δοκεῖν εἶναι πίστιν λήψεται. πῶς οὖν ταῦτʼ ἔσται; ἂν ἡ μὲν δύναμις τῆς πόλεως ἐξητασμένη καὶ παρεσκευασμένη πᾶσιν ᾖ φανερά, φαίνηται δὲ δίκαιʼ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ φρονεῖν αἱρουμένη.
