[3] The sea, indeed, had been of great profit to him, since his pirate boats had attacked the whole coast from the promontory of Malea; besides, he found the soldiers of these cities made by far the best kind of fighting men. [4] Although he had discussed these conditions with his advisers in secret, nevertheless everyone was discussing them in common talk, since it is the nature [p. 515]of the courtiers of kings to be untrustworthy in all¹ respects, but especially for keeping secrets.
