[20] But if we make peace and demean ourselves as our common covenants1 command us to do, then we shall dwell in our city in great security, delivered from wars and perils and the turmoil in which we are now involved amongst ourselves, and we shall advance day by day in prosperity, relieved of paying war-taxes, of fitting out triremes, and of discharging the other burdens2 which are imposed by war, without fear cultivating our lands and sailing the seas and engaging in those other occupations which now, because of the war, have entirely come to an end.3

1 Of the Peace of Antalcidas.

2 See Isoc. 8.128 and note.
