ἦν καὶ Δημάρατος ὁ Σπαρτιάτης διὰ ξενίας εὔνους
ὢν Ἀτταγίνῳ τῷ προεστῶτι τῆς ὀλιγαρχίας διεπράξατο
φίλον βασιλέως γενέσθαι καὶ ξένον, οἱ δ᾽
Ἕλληνες ἐν ταῖς ναυσὶν ἦσαν, πεζῇ δ᾽ οὐδεὶς
[p. 237]
προσήλαυνεν, οὕτω προσεδέξαντο τὰς διαλύσεις ὑπὸ τῆς μεγάλης ἀνάγκης ἐγκαταληφθέντες. οὔτε γὰρ θάλασσα καὶ νῆες αὐτοῖς παρῆσαν ὡς Ἀθηναίοις, οὔτ᾽ ἀπωτάτω κατῴκουν ὡς Σπαρτιᾶται τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἐν
μυχῷ, μιᾶς δ᾽ ἡμέρας ὁδὸν καὶ ἡμισείας ἀπέχοντι
τῷ Μήδῳ συστάντες ἐπὶ τῶν στενῶν καὶ διαγωνισάμενοι μετὰ μόνων Σπαρτιατῶν καὶ Θεσπιέων
