ἀπενεχθείσης δὲ τῆς νίκης εἰς Ἀθήνας, ὁ μὲν δῆμος ἐκ τῶν προτέρων συμφορῶν ἀνελπίστους εὐτυχίας ὁρῶν τῇ πόλει προσγεγενημένας μετέωρος ἦν ἐπὶ τοῖς εὐημερήμασι, καὶ τοῖς μὲν θεοῖς πανδημεὶ θυσίας καὶ πανηγύρεις ἐποιήσατο, εἰς δὲ τὸν πόλεμον ἐπέλεξε χιλίους τῶν ὁπλιτῶν τοὺς κρατίστους, ἱππεῖς δʼ ἑκατόν, πρὸς δὲ τούτοις τριάκοντα τριήρεις ἀπέστειλε τοῖς περὶ τὸν Ἀλκιβιάδην, ὅπως τὰς περὶ Λακεδαιμονίους πόλεις ἀδεῶς πορθῶσι κρατοῦντες τῆς θαλάττης.
