and performed glorious deeds by virtue of his personal bravery.Const. Exc. 2 (1), pp.
227-228.
At once, then, Aristeides advised all the
allies as they were holding a general assembly to designate the island of DelosThat is, the temple
of Apollo on that island. as their common treasury and to deposit there all the money

a levy upon all the cities according to their means, so that the entire sum collected would

the Athenians, who had removed ten thousand talentsGiven
as "some eight thousand" in Book 12.38.2. from Delos to Athens and had dispatched to
Sicily two hundred triremes and more than forty
thousand men to fight, would ever suffer disasters of such magnitude? for from the preparations
they made on such a scale not a ship, not a man has returned home, so that not even a survivor
is left to carry to them word of the disaster. Knowing,
therefore, men of Syracuse, that the arrogant are
hated among gods and men, do you, humbling yourselves before Fortune, commit no act that is
