περὶ δὲ τῶν χρημάτων κατεγέλα· μὴ γὰρ εἶναι χρήματα τοῖς Ἕλλησιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ νῦν τοὺς πολλοὺς ἑκόντας στρατεύεσθαι διὰ τὴν οἴκοι πενίαν. ταῦτα δὲ ἔλεγεν ἀποτρέπων αὐτοὺς τῆς ἐπὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα στρατείας. εἰ δὲ δέοι τινα δίκην γενέσθαι τοῦ εὐπρεποῦσχάριν, αὐτὸς εὑρεῖν. καταλείψειν γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἀνάθημα κάλλιστον καὶ μέγιστον τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ καὶ ἐπιγράψειν, Ἱλαστήριον Ἀχαιοὶ τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ τῇ Ἰλιάδι. τοῦτο γὰρ φέρειν μεγάλην τιμὴν ἐκείνοις· καθʼ ἑαυτῶν δὲ γίγνεσθαι μαρτύριον ὡς ἡττημένων.
