καὶ μὴν οὐδὲ δαπανᾶν φήσετε τῶν τότε μᾶλλον. τότε μὲν γὰρ εἰς πάνθʼ. ὅσα καὶ νῦν ἀνηλίσκετο,πανηγύρεις, πομπάς, ἱερουργίας, εἰς τὰ τείχη, τοῖς δικάζουσι, τῇ βουλῇ. νῦν δὲ οὐκ ἔστι τὰ μέγιστα τῶν πρότερον. τὰς γὰρ εἰς τὸν πόλεμον δαπάνας σχεδόν τι συνεχῶς αὐτῶν πολεμούντων καὶ σπάνιον, εἴ ποτε, ἀναπαυομένων, οὐκ ἔνι συμβάλλειν οἶμαι τοῖς ἐν εἰρήνῃ γιγνομένοις ἀναλώμασιν.
