Also I am surprised that my opponents
neglected their ships, but took care to get their orators ready; and they seem
to me to be mistaken in regard to the whole affair, and to imagine that you are
grateful, not to those who do their duty, but to those who say they do it; and
they have formed a totally different estimate regarding you from that which I
hold. For this very reason it is right that you should feel more kindly disposed
toward me; for it is plain that I entertain a higher opinion of you than they
do.
