εἰ μὲν οὖν οὕτως ἔχομεν ὥστε μηδὲ περὶ ἑνὸς ἀντιλέγειν, μηδʼ ἐὰν αὐτὴν τὴν Σπάρτην ἐκλιπεῖν προστάττωσιν ἡμῖν, περίεργόν ἐστιν ὑπὲρ Μεσσήνης σπουδάζειν· εἰ δὲ μηδεὶς ἂν ὑμῶν ἀξιώσειε ζῆν ἀποστερούμενος τῆς πατρίδος, προσήκει καὶ περὶ ἐκείνης τὴν αὐτὴν ὑμᾶς γνώμην ἔχειν. τὰ γὰρ αὐτὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τοὺς αὐτοὺς λόγους περὶ ἀμφοτέρων αὐτῶν ἔχομεν εἰπεῖν.
