καὶ ἡ μὲν Βοιωτία πᾶσα, καὶ ὅσα μετὰ τὴν ἀπὸ Θερμοπυλῶν εἴσοδον Ἑλληνικὰ ἔθνη διῆλθον οἱ βάρβαροι, ἔκειντο τὴν ἐξ ἐκείνου μέχρι τοῦ νῦν καταστροφὴν διδόντα τοῖς θεωμένοις ὁρᾶν, μόνων Θηβαίων διὰ τὸ τῆς πόλεως ὀχυρὸν περισωθέντων, καὶ ὅτι σπεύδων τὰς Ἀθήνας ἑλεῖν Ἀλλάριχος οὐκ ἐπέμεινε τῇ τούτων πολιορκίᾳ.
