ἠτύχησαν. ὁ δὲ συγγραφεὺς οὕτως ἐστὶ δίκαιος, ὥστε ‘Λακεδαιμονίους μὲν μονωθέντας καὶ γενομένους
συμμάχων ἐρήμους τυχὸν ἄν φησιν ὁμολογίῃ
χρήσασθαι πρὸς Ξέρξεα’ Θηβαίοις δὲ ταὐτὸ διὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ἀνάγκην παθοῦσι λοιδορεῖται. τὸ δὲ μέγιστον καὶ κάλλιστον ἔργον ἀνελεῖν μὴ δυνηθεὶς
ὡς οὐ πραχθὲν αὐτοῖς, αἰτίῃ φαύλῃ καὶ ὑπονοίᾳ
διαλυμαινόμενος ταῦτ᾽ ἔγραφεν ‘οἱ μέν νυν ξύμμαχοι
οἱ ἀποπεμπόμενοι ᾤχοντό τε ἀπιόντες καὶ ἐπείθοντο Λεωνίδῃ Θεσπιέες δὲ καὶ Θηβαῖοι. κατέμειναν μοῦνοι παρὰ Λακεδαιμονίοισι τούτων δὲ Θηβαῖοι
