Sed melius aliquanto, si aliena imitatione capiebatur, Themistoclis ardorem esset aemulatus, quem ferunt stimulis uirtutis agitatum et ob id noctes inquietas exigentem quaerentibus quid ita eo tempore in publico uersaretur respondisse: 'quia me tropaea Miltiadis de somno excitant'. Marathon nimirum animum eius ad Artemisium et Salamina, naualis gloriae fertilia nomina, inlustranda tacitis facibus incitabat. idem theatrum petens cum interrogaretur cuius uox auditu illi futura esset gratissima, dixit 'eius, a quo artes meae optime canentur'. dulcedinem gloriae, paene adieci gloriosam!
