Ἀργιλεωνίδος ¹

Ἀργιλεωνὶς ἡ Βρασίδου μήτηρ, τελευτήσαντος αὐτῇ τοῦ υἱοῦ, ὡς παραγενόμενοί τινες τῶν Ἀμφιπολιτῶν εἰς Σπάρτην ἧκον πρὸς αὐτὴν ἠρώτησεν εἰ καλῶς καὶ ἀξίως τῆς Σπάρτης ὁ υἱὸς ἐτελεύτα: μεγαλυνόντων δ᾽ ἐκεῖνον καὶ λεγόντων ἄριστον ἐν τοῖς τοιούτοις ἔργοις ἁπάντων Λακεδαιμονίων εἶναι, εἶπεν, ‘ὦ ξένοι, καλὸς μὲν ἦν κἀγαθὸς ὁ παῖς μου, πολλοὺς δ᾽ ἄνδρας Λακεδαίμων ἔχει ’

1 The title, λακαινων αποφθεγματα, and the headings, αργιλεωνιδος, etc., are almost always omitted in the mss.
