Quotation
οἷον πολλὰ μὲν ἄν τις ἔχοι λέγειν καὶ παλαιὰ καὶ καινά: ἃ δ᾽ οὖν πᾶσι μάλιστ᾽ ἀκοῦσαι γνώριμα, τοῦτο μέν, εἰ βούλεσθε, οἱ τὰ προπύλαια καὶ τὸν παρθενῶν᾽ οἰκοδομήσαντες ἐκεῖνοι καὶ τἄλλ᾽ ἀπὸ τῶν βαρβάρων ἱερὰ κοσμήσαντες, ἐφ᾽ οἷς φιλοτιμούμεθα πάντες εἰκότως, ἴστε δήπου τοῦτ᾽ ἀκοῇ, ὅτι τὴν πόλιν ἐκλιπόντες καὶ κατακλεισθέντες εἰς Σαλαμῖνα, ἐκ τοῦ τριήρεις ἔχειν πάντα μὲν τὰ σφέτερ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν πόλιν τῇ ναυμαχίᾳ νικήσαντες ἔσωσαν, πολλῶν δὲ καὶ μεγάλων ἀγαθῶν τοῖς ἄλλοις Ἕλλησι κατέστησαν αἴτιοι, ὧν οὐδ᾽ ὁ χρόνος τὴν μνήμην ἀφελέσθαι δύναται.
