Quotation
Τοιγαροῦν πλεῖστον μὲν χρόνον τῶν μνημονευομένων βασιλέων πολιτικὴν κατάστασιν ἐτήρησαν, εὐδαιμονέστατον δὲ βίον ἔχοντες διετέλεσαν, ἕως ἔμεινεν ἡ προειρημένη τῶν νόμων σύνταξις, πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ἐθνῶν τε πλείστων ἐπεκράτησαν καὶ μεγίστους πλούτους ἔσχον, καὶ τὰς μὲν χώρας ἔργοις καὶ κατασκευάσμασιν ἀνυπερβλήτοις, τὰς δὲ πόλεις ἀναθήμασι πολυτελέσι καὶ παντοίοις ἐκόσμησαν.
