But if the Lacedaemonians act unjustly and insist on
fighting, then, on the one hand, if the only question to be decided is whether
we shall abandon Megalopolis to
them or not, just indeed it is not, but I for my part agree to allow it and to
offer no opposition to the people who shared the same dangers with us1; but, on the other hand, if you are all

hard on the Megalopolitans to tell me what he will advise us to do then.
