Quotation
εἰ γὰρ καὶ πάνδεινα πεποιήκασιν οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι καὶ πάσης μείζω τιμωρίας, ὁ καιρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, παραιτεῖται καὶ τὸ μὴ καλῶς ἔχειν ὑμῖν συνεπιτίθεσθαι τοῖς αὐτῶν ἀτυχήμασιν. ὧν γὰρ πλείους μὲν ἢ χίλιοι τεθνᾶσιν, ἀφεστᾶσι δ᾽ οἱ σύμμαχοι, κεκόσμηται δὲ τοῖς ὅπλοις τὰ Θηβαίων ἱερὰ, αἱ δ᾽ ἐλπίδες εἰς ἡμᾶς μόνους ἀνήρτηνται, πῶς ἄξιον αὐτόχειρας τούτων γενέσθαι καὶ μὴ συνδιατηρῆσαι τὰς ὑπολοίπους ἀφορμάς;
