[10]
I will tell you without any concealment
what has caused me most disappointment. It is that though the many reforms
proposed were all of them important and honorable, no one remembers any of them,
but everyone remembers the two obols.1 Yet these can
never be worth more than two obols, but the other reforms, together with those
that I proposed, are worth all the wealth of the Great King—that a
city, so well provided with infantry, triremes, cavalry, and revenues, should be
duly organized and equipped.
