That is not my meaning. But I do contend that we must send supplies to the forces in the <placeName key="tgn,7017285">Chersonese</placeName> and satisfy all their demands, and while we make preparation ourselves, we must summon, collect, instruct, and exhort the rest of the Greeks. That is the duty of a city with a reputation such as yours enjoys.</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
