204. οὐκ ἀγαθόν] οὕτως ἡ Περσῶν ἀρχὴ διὰ τῆς μοναρχίας μεγάλη ἐστί· καὶ οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ, ὁπότε πλείονας παρεῖχον τῷ στρατεύματι ἡγεμόνας, ὡς ἐν Αἰγὸς ποταμοῖς τοὺς ἐννέα, ἡττῶντο, ὁπότε δὲ δι᾿ ἑνὸς ἐποιοῦντο τοὺς ἀγῶνας, ἐνίκων, ὥσπερ ἐν τῇ Κνίδῳ ὁ Κόνων τὸ Πελοποννησίων στρατόπεδον, ὅπου γε καὶ αὐτὰ τὰ σώματα ἡμῶν, εἰ ἦσαν ἐξ ἑνὸς στοιχείου, οὐδέποτε ἂν ἤλγουν. οὐδὲ γὰρ ἦν ὑφ᾿ οὗ ἀλγήσειαν ἓν ὄντα, ὥς φησιν ὁ θεῖος Ἱπποκράτης. καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ δὲ πάλιν ὁ αὐτὸς ἀνὴρ “πᾶν τὸ πολὺ τῇ φύσει πολέ- μιον· τὰ γὰρ πολλὰ ἀλλήλοις ἀνθιστάμενα πόλεμον ἐπιφέρει, ἀφ᾿ οὗ φθορά.” τελεία στιγμὴ ἐπὶ τὸ πολυκοιρανίη, ἐπὶ δὲ τὸ ἔστω διαστολὴ, καὶ ὁμοίως ἐπὶ τὸ βασιλεύς. καὶ καθόλου τὰς ἐπαναλήψεις τῶν λέξεων οὕτως κατορθοῦμεν.
