πολλὰ τοίνυν ἄν τις, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, Φίλιππον εὐδαιμονίσας τῆς τύχης εἰκότως, τοῦτο μάλιστ᾽ ἂν εὐδαιμονίσειεν ἁπάντων, ὃ μὰ τοὺς θεοὺς καὶ τὰς θεὰς οὐκ ἔχω λέγειν ἔγωγ᾽ ἄλλον ὅστις ηὐτύχηκεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν. τὸ μὲν γὰρ πόλεις μεγάλας εἰληφέναι καὶ χώραν πολλὴν ὑφ᾽ ἑαυτῷ πεποιῆσθαι καὶ πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα ζηλωτὰ μέν ἐστιν, οἶμαι, καὶ λαμπρά: πῶς γὰρ οὔ; ἔχοι δ᾽ ἄν τις εἰπεῖν πεπραγμένα καὶ ἑτέροις πολλοῖς.
