οὗτοι γὰρ ἄρχοντες τῶν Ἑλλήνων (οὐ πολὺς χρόνος ἐξ οὗ) καὶ κατὰ γῆν καὶ κατὰ θάλατταν, εἰς τοσαύτην μεταβολὴν ἦλθον, ἐπειδὴ τὴν μάχην ἡττήθησαν τὴν ἐν Λεύκτροις, ὥστε ἀπεστερήθησαν μὲν τῆς ἐν τοῖς Ἕλλησι δυναστείας, τοιούτους δʼ ἄνδρας ἀπώλεσαν σφῶν αὐτῶν, οἳ προῃροῦντο τεθνάναι μᾶλλον ἢ ζῆν ἡττηθέντες ὧν πρότερον ἐδέσποζον.
