ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ πρὸς τὰς ἄλλας πόλεις ὑμᾶς ἀξιῶ προσφέρεσθαι πρᾴως καὶ κηδεμονικῶς καὶ φιλοτίμως καὶ μὴ ἀπεχθῶς. οὕτω γὰρ ἑκόντες ἀκολουθήσουσιν ὑμῖν ἅπαντες θαυμάζοντες καὶ ἀγαπῶντες· ὃ μεῖζόν ἐστι τοῦ θύειν παρʼ ὑμῖν καὶ δικάζεσθαι Μαλλόν. ταῦτα μὲν γὰρ οὐδʼ ἡντινοῦν ἔχει ὠφέλειαν, ἐπελθεῖν ἐπὶ θυσίαν δεῦρο ἢ τοὺς Ἀδανεῖς ἢ τοὺς Αἰγαίους, ἀλλὰ τῦφον καὶ ἀπάτην καὶ φιλοτιμίαν ἄλλως ἀνόητον.
