Quotation
ἁπλῶς δ᾽ εἴσεσθε μὲν οἵας πόλεως στέρεσθε, ὁποίας δ᾽ οὐχ ἕξετε δεικνύναι, καὶ ἐπὶ μέν γε τοῦ νῦν παρόντος χρόνου τοὺς εἰδότας πρότερον τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἐπιμαρτύρασθαι, ἐπειδὰν δὲ καὶ τούτους ἡ προσήκουσα μοῖρα ἀπαγάγῃ, τί δὴ λοιπὸν πλὴν ἐρήμην ὀφλεῖν ὅ φασι, γνωριζομένους, ὦ δαίμονες, οὐκ ἀπὸ τῶν ναυμαχιῶν οὐδ᾽ ἀπὸ τῶν λιμένων τε καὶ νεωρίων οὐδ᾽ ἀπὸ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ κατὰ τὴν πόλιν, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι μέγιστα τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἠτυχήσατε: καὶ δεήσει Ῥόδου μεμνημένους μὴ γαυριᾶν, ἀλλὰ θρηνεῖν. μόνοις δὲ οἷς ὑμεῖς πεπόνθατε νῦν καὶ οἱ πρὸ ἑξακοσίων ἐτῶν ἄνδρες ἔνδοξοι συνηδίκηνται καὶ οἵ γε μηδὲν τῇ πόλει προσήκοντες κοσμοῦντες τὴν πόλιν τοῖς ἑαυτῶν ἔργοις ἀντεκοσμοῦντο τῇ μνήμῃ.
