τὸ δὲ ἔστιν μέν, ἀλλʼ οὐχ ὁρῶσιν οἱ πολλοὶ τὴν ἀντίδοσιν, οὔτε ἰδίᾳ, οὔτε κατὰ πόλιν· ἡ γὰρ ἂν αὐτοὺς ἐξοπλίσαντες, καὶ χαίρειν φράσαντες στρατηγῶν τέχναις, καὶ ὁπλοποιῶν δημιουργίαις, καὶ μισθοφόρων ἀθροισμῷ, καὶ συνθημάτων παραδόσει, καὶ φρουρίων ἐπιτειχίσει καὶ στρατοπέδων, πάλιν ἔδε— ξαντο ἂν τὰς σπονδὰς ἑκόντες παρʼ αὐτοῦ τοῦ Διός, οὐκ ἐν λυμπίφ, οὐδὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ σθμοῦ τὴν ἐκεχειρίαν κηρύττοντος, ἀλλʼ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ μέγα βοῶντος·
