πολεμήσειν ἤδη περὶ τῆς αὑτῶν καὶ Πέρσαι
παρεσκευάζοντο. ὁ δὲ μικρὰ μὲν ἐνόμιζεν εἶναι
τὰ παρόντα καὶ πόνον οὐ πολὺν τῆς σῆς συνέσεως
καὶ ῥώμης κρατῆσαι, τοὺς Ἰνδῶν δὲ ἐσκόπει
πλούτους καὶ Περσῶν τὴν πολυτέλειαν: τοσοῦτον
αὐτῷ περιῆν ἀνοίας καὶ θράσους ἐκ μικροῦ παντελῶς
περὶ τοὺς κατασκόπους πλεονεκτήματος,
οὓς ἀφυλάκτους ὅλῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ λοχήσας ἔκτεινεν.
οὕτω τὸ πράττειν εὖ παρὰ τὴν ἀξίαν ἀρχὴ
πολλάκις γέγονε τοῖς ἀνοήτοις μειζόνων συμφορῶν.
[p. 92]
