τὸ δὲ τῆς ὁδοῦ μῆκος ἐκείνῳ μέν ὥστε μεταβῆναι πάμπολυ γίγνεσθαι· σχεδὸν γοῦν αὐτὸν ἐν ὁδῷ διάγειν τοῦ χειμῶνος καὶ τοῦ θέρους τὸ πλέον· αὐτὸν δὲ πλησίον καταλύσαντα Μεγαροῖ Ἀθήνησι γενέσθαι τῇ ὑστεραίᾳ πάνυ ῥᾳδίως, εἰ μὲν βούλοιτο, ἐπʼ Ἐλευσῖνος· εἰ δὲ μή, βραχυτέραν διὰ Σαλαμῖνος, μὴ δι’ ἐρήμων σταθμῶν πορευόμενον· ὥστε πλεονεκτεῖν βασιλέως καὶ μᾶλλον τρυφᾶν· ἄμεινον γὰρ κατεσκευάσθαι τὴν οἴκησιν.
