Orations 31.93-95, 97

νῦν ἅπασαι μὲν αἱ Ἑλληνικαὶ πόλεις ἐφ᾽ ὑμῶν ἀνέχουσι καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀναθήματα καὶ τέχναι καὶ κόσμοι πάντες ὑμῖν ἔχουσι φιλοτιμίαν, ὥσπερ ἐν προαστείῳ κόσμος: ἐκπεπλήρωνται δὲ ἀκταί τε παράλιοι καὶ μεσόγειοι πόλεσι, ταῖς μὲν οἰκισθείσαις, ταῖς δὲ αὐξηθείσαις ἐφ᾽ ὑμῶν τε καὶ ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν. Ἰωνία δὲ ἡ περιμάχητος ἐλευθερωθεῖσα φρουρῶν καὶ σατραπῶν πρόκειται πᾶσι κάλλους ἡγεμὼν, ὅσον πρόσθεν ἐδόκει τῶν ἄλλων ὑπεραίρειν γενῶν χάριτι καὶ κόσμῳ, τοσοῦτον νῦν ἐπιδεδωκυῖα αὐτὴ παρ᾽ αὑτήν. ἡ δὲ σεμνὴ καὶ μεγάλη κατ᾽ Αἴγυπτον Ἀλεξάνδρου πόλις ἐγκαλλώπισμα τῆς ὑμετέρας γέγονεν ἡγεμονίας, ὥσπερ γυναικὸς πλουσίας ὅρμος ἢ ψέλιον ἐν πολλοῖς τοῖς ἄλλοις κτήμασι... καὶ γὰρ ὥσπερ πανηγυρίζουσα πᾶσα ἡ οἰκουμένη τὸ μὲν παλαιὸν φόρημα τὸν σίδηρον κατέθετο, εἰς δὲ κόσμον καὶ πάσας εὐφροσύνας τέτραπται σὺν ἐξουσίᾳ.
