[30]
ὁ μέν γε χρυσίον, ὥς φασιν, ἄγει πολύ. τοῦτο δ᾽ ἂν διαδῷ ζητήσει: καὶ γὰρ τὰς κρήνας καὶ τὰ φρέατ᾽ ἐπιλείπειν πέφυκεν, ἄν τις ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἁθρόα πολλὰ λαμβάνῃ. ἡμῖν δὲ τὸ τῆς χώρας τίμημ᾽ ὑπάρχον ἀφορμὴν ἑξακισχίλια τάλαντα ἀκούσεται, ὑπὲρ ἧς ὡς μὲν τοὺς ἐπιόντας ἐκείνων ἀμυνόμεθα, οἱ Μαραθῶνι τῶν προγόνων αὐτοῦ μάλιστ᾽ ἂν εἰδεῖεν, ἕως δ᾽ ἂν κρατῶμεν, οὐκ ἔνι δήπου χρήμαθ᾽ ἡμᾶς ἐπιλείπειν.
