Who would lack material if he wished to recount in full the tale of the courage of your entire state, and of its moderation, and its constitution established by your ancestors? How long a story would be needed to tell of your fathers wisdom, of his handling of affairs in adversity, and of that battle in Sparta[*] in which you, leading a few against many, exposed yourself to danger, and, surpassing all, proved to be the author of your citys salvationa deed than which no man could point to one more glorious!
