οὐ γὰρ ὅμοιον ἑκατὸν νεῶν ἢ καὶ πλειόνων στόλον ἀποστεῖλαι καὶ πάλιν ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ τριάκοντα ἑτέρων, καὶ τοῦτον ἔσθʼ ὅτε μὴ καταλύειν τριῶν ἢ τεττάρων ἐτῶν· οὐδὲ συνεχῶς τριήρεσι πλεῖν, οὐ μέχρι Κύπρου καὶ Κιλικίας, ἀλλʼ ὁτὲ μὲν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ὁτὲ δὲ εἰς τὸν Εὔξεινον, τὸ δὲ τελευταῖον ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ Ὠκεανῷ· οὐδὲ ξένους στρατιώτας τρέφειν τὰ φρούρια καὶ τὴν χώραν φυλάττοντας· καὶ ὃ νῦν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν ἰδεῖν ἔστι, μιᾷ καθʼ ἕκαστον ἐνιαυτὸν ἢ δυσὶν ἀφράκτοις ἀπαντᾶν εἰς Κόρινθον.
