Persuasion we used in arranging that Hellenotamiae should be appointed at Athens to control the joint funds,[*] that the allied fleet should assemble in our own harbor, and that such states as possessed no ships should be supplied with them by us: stealth in building our walls unknown to the Peloponnesians[*]: bribery in purchasing Spartas acquiescence: and force in crushing our enemies; thus it was that we built up an empire over the whole nation. All these successes were achieved in eighty-five years.[*]
