PREFACE. 
 
 To all who are beginning to learn the noble language of 
 ancient Greece, and to you my young friends, at present under 
 my instruction for that purpose, I dedicate this humble attempt 
 to render easy what is generally difficult, made in the way 
 recommended of old by John Milton, Locke, and others; and 
 extensively used in France. Every thing like elegance or 
 neatness has been sacrificed in order to make it literal, and 
 sentences here and there have been purposely left awkward 
 which you will yourselves easily amend, and translate according 
 to your own taste and judgment. You must have your Greek 
 text always in hand, your Lexicon near, and have recourse to 
 this translation only when you cannot make the sense out ; and 
 never leave a sentence without a thorough understanding of it. 
 Review often what you read, and try to fix it in your mind so as 
 to make it like ready cash in your pockets which you can use at 
 will. In this way you will become scholars. 
 
 For your encouragement I may state that many whom I have 
 helped and cheered on in the rugged path of learning, graduated 
 afterwards at College with high honors, and many others went 
 immediately from my teaching to a theological seminary, being 
 deemed by their examiners sufficiently well grounded in the 
 classics without any collegiate course. These are now preachers 
 of the Gospel of different denominations, and a few of them are 
 in far distant lands doing a good work among those who sit in

 darkness and in the shadow of death. A collegiate course, 
 however, I strongly recommend, if it can be obtained. Besides 
 my own helps prepared for you, there is added also a key, by my 
 learned friend Mr. Pantoleon, to Professor Boise's Greek Exer- 
 cises which should be in the hands of all who learn Greek, and 
 which you will use under my teaching. 
 
 For your further encouragement, I will here relate a very 
 remarkable instance of patient diligence and indomitable perse- 
 verance. 
 
 In the year 1827, after I had returned to Charleston from 
 Scotland, and my classes were going on, a very respectable 
 lawyer came to my school, I think some time in the month of 
 October, with a youth apparently about sixteen, or perhaps not 
 so much, of middle size, graceful in manners, rather slender, but 
 well formed, and upon the whole, what I would call handsome ; 
 of a keen, piercing eye, and a noble forehead seemingly the very 
 seat of genius. The gentleman stated that he found him given 
 to study, that he had been about three weeks learning the Latin 
 rudiments, and (hoping, I suppose, to turn the youth's attention 
 from the law to the ministry) had resolved to place him under 
 my care for the purpose of learning Greek, Latin and Mathe- 
 matics, sufficient to enter Charleston College. I very gladly 
 received him, for I immediately perceived he was no common 
 youth, as intelligence beamed in his dark eye, and shone brightly 
 on his countenance, indicating great ability, and an assurance of 
 his future progress. I at once put him in the highest class, just 
 beginning to read Cesar's Commentaries, and although at first 
 inferior, his prodigious memory and enthusiastic application soon 
 enabled him to surpass the best. He began Greek at the same 
 time, and read with some who had been long at it, in which he also 
 soon excelled. In short, in the space of one year, he had with 
 the class, and at odd hours with myself, read four books of Cesar, 
 Cornelius Nepos, Sallust, six books of Virgil, nearly all Horace, 
 and two books of Livy ; and in Greek, all Graca Minora, about 
 
PREFACE. 5 
 
 the half of the first volume of Grseca Majora, and four books of 
 Homer's Iliad. And whatever he read, he retained. It seemed 
 to me, in fact, as if he learned by mere intuition. I was myself 
 utterly astonished, and at the same time delighted with his pro- 
 gress. I have hinted above that he was designed for the Church, 
 but when I contemplated his bold, fearless disposition, his power- 
 ful inventive genius, his admiration of warlike exploits, and his 
 love of heroic and adventurous deeds, I did not think it likely he 
 would be a Minister of the Gospel. He had not, however, the 
 least appearance of any vice whatever. On the contrary, he was 
 always the very pattern of virtue and modesty. I could not help 
 loving him, so much did he captivate me by his gentlemanly 
 conduct and extraordinary progress. It was easy to see that he 
 would one day raise himself to eminence. Whilst under my 
 instruction, I discovered his early genius for poetic composition 
 in the following manner. When the Greek class read the 
 account that Herodotus gives of the battle of Marathon, the 
 bravery of Miltiades and his ten thousand Greeks, raised his 
 patriotic feelings to enthusiasm, and drew from him expressions 
 which I thought were embodied in a few days afteward in some 
 well-written verses in a Charleston paper, on that far-famed 
 unequal but successful conflict against tyranny and oppression, 
 and suspecting my talented scholar to be the author, I went to 
 his desk, and asked him if he did not write them ; and hesitating 
 at first, rather blushingly, he confessed he did. I then said, " I 
 knew you could do such things, and I suppose you have some 
 such pieces by you which I should like to see. Do bring them 
 to me." He consented, and in a day or two brought me a number, 
 which I read with pleasure and admiration, at the strong marks 
 of genius stamped on all, but here and there requiring, as I 
 thought, a very slight amendment. 
 
 I had hired a mathematician to teach both him and myself, (for 
 I could not then teach that science,) and in this he also made such 
 wonderful progress, that at the end of one year he entered the 
 
b PREFACE. 
 
 Junior Class in Charleston College triumphantly, whilst others 
 who had been studying four years and more were obliged to take 
 the Sophomore-class. About the end of the year 1828, I left 
 Charleston, but I heard that he highly distinguished himself, 
 and graduated in 1830. After that he taught Mathematics for 
 some time, and then went to study law under a certain celebrated 
 Senator. His career afterwards has been one of heroic adventure, 
 of hair-breadth escapes by flood and field, and of scientific explo- 
 rations, which have made him world-wide renowned. In a letter 
 I received from him very lately, he expresses his gratitude to 
 me in the following words : "I am very far from either forgetting 
 you, or neglecting you, or in any way losing the old regard I had 
 for you. There is no time to which I go back with more pleasure 
 than that spent with you, for there was no time so thoroughly 
 well spent, and of any thing I may have learned, I remember 
 nothing so well, and so distinctly, as what I acquired with you." 
 Here I can not help saying that the merit was almost all his 
 own. It is true that I encouraged and cheered him on, but if 
 the soil into which I put in the seeds of learning had not been 
 of the richest quality, they never would have sprung up to a 
 hundred fold in the full ear. Such, my young friends, is but an 
 imperfect sketch of my once beloved and favorite pupil, now a 
 Senator, and who may yet rise to be at the head of this great 
 and growing Republic. My prayer is that he may ever be 
 opposed to war, injustice and oppression of every kind, a blessing 
 to his country and an example of every noble virtue to the whole 
 world. I could give some other instances of genius in some of 
 my former pupils, as well as of great diligence and application, 
 but none equal to the one I have here given

ASCENT OF CYEUS. 
 
 BOOK II. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1. How indeed then the Grecian f&rce was assembled by 
 Cyrus, when he moved with an army against his brother 
 Artaxerxes, and what things were done in the up- way, and 
 how the battle took place, and how Cyrus died, and how 
 the Greeks coming to the camp, went to rest, thinking to 
 conquer all things, and Cyrus to be alive — all these have 
 been shown in the former discourse. 
 
 2. But along with the day, the generals having come 
 together, wondered that Cyrus may not send any one about 
 to signify, whatever it behoves the?n to do, nor does he 
 himself appear. Therefore it seemed proper to them, having 
 packed up what they had, and having armed themselves, to 
 proceed in advance, until they might join with Cyrus. 
 
 3. But now they being in motion, along with the rising 
 sun came Procles, the commander of Teuthrania, being 
 descended from Damaratus. the Lacedaemonian, and Glus, 
 the son of Tamos. These said, that Cyrus indeed has died ; 
 but Ariseus having fled, was with the other barbarians in 
 the station whence they were moved on the former day • 
 and that he said, that indeed he might wait for them that day, 
 if they are about to come : but on the next, he said, he should 
 depart for Ionia, whence he came,

OR, THE ASCENT OP CYRUS. H3 
 
 4. Having heard these words, the generals and the other 
 Greeks learning, bore them heavily. But Clearchus spoke 
 these words: — u But indeed Cyrus ought to be alive; [i. e., 
 I wish Cyrus were alive;] but since he has died, report 
 to Ariseus, that we at least conquer the king, and, as you 
 see, no one yet fights us; and if you had not come, we 
 would have gone against the king. But we announce to 
 Ariseus, if he come hither, that we will seat him on the royal 
 throne: for it is of those conquering in battle also to rule." 
 
 5. Having said these words, he sends away the mes- 
 sengers, and with them Cherisophus, the Laconian, and 
 Menon, the Thessalian : for even Menon himself desired it, 
 for he was a friend and a guest of Ariseus. 
 
 6. They indeed went away, but Clearchus waited there; 
 and the army procured food how they were able, from the 
 beasts of burden, cutting up the oxen and asses: and pro- 
 ceeding a little way from the phalanx, where the battle was, 
 they used for wood both the arrows, being many, (which the 
 Greeks compelled those deserting from the king to throw 
 down,) and the wicker shields, and the wooden shields of 
 the Egyptians, but also many targets, and waggons were 
 deserted to be drawn ; all which they using, in cooking, ate 
 flesh on that day. 
 
 7. And now it was both about filling market-time, and 
 heralds come from the king and Tissaphernes ; the others 
 indeed were barbarians, but one of them, Phalynus, was a 
 Greek, who happened to be with Tissaphernes, and being in 
 honor : for also he assumed to be of the skilful both about 
 the ranks and exercise of arms. 
 
 8. But these both having approached, and having called 
 the commanders of the Greeks, say that the king orders the 
 Greeks, since he happens to be victorious, and has killed 
 Cyrus, giving up the arms, and going to the doors of the 
 king, to find, if they can obtain any thing favorable.

 9. The heralds of the king spoke indeed these words; but 
 the Greeks indeed heard grievously, but nevertheless 
 Clearchus spoke this much, that it is not of those conquering 
 to give up the arms: but you, indeed, said he, O men, gene- 
 rals, answer these words, whatever you have, fairest and 
 best, but I will come immediately: for some one of the 
 servants called him, in order that he might see the sacred 
 things, having been taken out : for he happened to be sacri- 
 ficing. 
 
 10. And there Cleanor indeed, the Arcadian, being the 
 eldest, answered that he would die, sooner than he would 
 give up the arms, and Proxenus the Theban said, but I, O 
 Phalynus wonder, whether as conquering, the king asks the 
 arms, or as gifts through friendship. For if indeed as con- 
 quering, why does it behove him, having come to ask, and 
 not to take. But if having persuaded, he wishes to take, let 
 him say, what shall be to the soldiers, if they should grant 
 these to him. 
 
 11. To these words Phalynus said, the king thinks to 
 conquer, since he has killed Cyrus. For who is there who 
 contends against him, on account of power? But he even 
 thinks you to be his own, having you in the mid-region of 
 himself, and within impassable rivers : and being able to lead 
 against you a multitude of men, so great as you could not 
 kill, though he may give them to you. 
 
 12. After him Theopompus an Athenian said : " O 
 Phalynus, now no other thing good is to us, as thou seest, 
 if not arms and valor. And therefore, having indeed arms, 
 we think also to use valor : but giving up these that we 
 should also be deprived of our bodies. Think not then 
 that we will deliver up to you, the only good things existing 
 to us: but with these, even about your goods, we will fight. 
 
 13. But Phalynus hearing these words, laughed, and 
 said : " But indeed thou art like a philosopher, O young 
 man, and thou speakest not ungrateful things; know,

 however, being rash, if thou thinkest your valor would be 
 above the power of the king. 
 
 14. But they said that some others spoke, being rather 
 softened, as also they were faithful to Cyrus, and at least 
 would be worthy of much to the king, if he may wish to 
 become a friend : and whether in any other service, he may 
 wish to employ tliem whether to make war upon Egypt, they 
 would conquer it with him. 
 
 15. In this time also Clearchus came and asked, if now 
 they were answered. And Phalynus replying, said : These 
 indeed, O Clearchus [say,] one says one thing, (and 
 another says another,) but tell thou to us, what sayest thou. 
 
 16. And he said : I gladly have seen thee, O Phalynus, 
 [or, I am glad to see thee,] and also all these others ; for 
 thou art both a Greek, and we being so many as thou seest; 
 and being in such affairs, [we] consult thee, what it behoves 
 to do about what thou sayest. 
 
 17. Then, by the gods, do thou counsel us, whatever 
 appears to be fairest and best, and which related will bring 
 honor to thee in the time hereafter, that Phalynus, once 
 being sent from the king, about to order the Greeks to give 
 up their arms, advised them consulting these matters. And 
 thou knowest that there is a necessity for it to be told in 
 Greece what thou advisest. 
 
 18. And Clearchus suggested these things, wishing also 
 the one being ambassabor himself from the king, to advise 
 not to give up their arms, in order that the Greeks might be 
 more hopeful. And Phalynus turning back, spoke thus con- 
 trary to his expectation. 
 
 19. " If indeed, there is to you any one of the ten thousand 
 hopes, I advise you to be saved warring against the king, not 
 to give up the arms : but if there is no hope of safety, the 
 king being unwilling, I advise you to be saved whichever 
 way it is possible to you."

 20. But Clearchus to these words said : " But on one 
 hand indeed, thou speakest these words : but, on the other ', 
 report these from us, that we think, (if indeed it behoves us to 
 be friends to the king,) we hope to be friends worthy of 
 more value having our arms, than having given them to 
 another; but if it be necessary to war, that we shall war better, 
 having our arms, than having given them up to another." 
 
 21. And Phalynus said, — Even these words indeed we 
 will report; but the king also ordered [us] to say these things 
 to you, that there may indeed be a truce to you remaining 
 there, but war [to you] advancing, and departing. Tell us 
 then also about this, whether you will remain, and a truce 
 exists, or as [from'] war existing, I shall report from you. 
 
 22. But Clearchus said, — Therefore report also about 
 these, that also the same seems proper to us which also 
 [seems proper] to the king. What then is that? said Phaly- 
 nus. Clearchus answered, — If indeed we remain, treaties; 
 but [to us] departing and advancing, war. 
 
 23. And he again asked, — Shall I report treaties or war? 
 And Clearchus again answered, — Treaties indeed [to us] 
 remaining, but [to us] departing, or advancing — war ! But 
 he did not signify what he would do.

 1. Phalynus indeed now went away, and those with him. 
 And those from Ariseus, Procles and Cherisophus, came: 
 (but Menon remained there with Ariseus:) and these re- 
 ported, that Ariseus says there are many Persians better 
 than himself — that these would not bear him reigning : but 
 if you wish to go away together, he orders you to come now 
 [through] the night : but if not, he says that he will go away 
 early.

 indeed we come, just as you say ; but if not, do whatever 
 thing you think mostly to benefit you. But he did not say 
 to them whatever he should do afterwards. 
 
 3. But after this, the sun now setting, having called to- 
 gether the generals and captains, he spoke such words : — 
 To me, O men, sacrificing to go against the king, the victims 
 were not favorable. And with good cause, therefore, they 
 were not. For, as I now learn, between us and the king, is 
 the river Tigres, passable by ships, which we cannot go 
 through without ships : and we have not vessels. Not 
 indeed even here at least is it possible also to remain ; for it 
 is not possible to get provisions: but the sacrifices were 
 entirely fair for us to go to the friends of Cyrus. 
 
 4. Thus then it behoves us to do: — it behoves us, de- 
 parting, to sup on whatever any one has; but when one may 
 signify with the horn, as if to rest, do you pack up : and 
 when the second horn sounds, put your baggage upon the 
 beasts of burden : and at the third, follow the one leading, 
 keeping indeed the beasts of burden close to the river, but 
 the arms outside. 
 
 5. The generals and the captains having heard these 
 words, went away, and did so: and thenceforth he indeed 
 commanded, and they obeyed, though not having elected him, 
 but seeing that he alone possessed mind, such as it behoves 
 the commander t@ have, but the others were inexperienced. 
 
 6. And the distance of the road which they came out 
 of Ephesus, of Ionia, until the battle, was three and ninety 
 stations — parasangs, five and thirty and five hundred — stadii, 
 fifty and six thousand and ten thousand ; and the stadii, from 
 the battle to Babylon, were said to be sixty and three 
 hundred. 
 
 7. From hence, at length, when darkness came on, 
 Miltocythes indeed, the Thracian, both having the horse- 
 men with himself to forty in number, and about three 
 hundred of the Thracians, infantry, deserted to the king,

 8. And Clearchus led the others according to what had 
 been ordered and they followed : and they come to the first 
 station near Ariseus and his army about midnight : and 
 having placed their arms in order, the generals and the 
 captains of the Greeks came on together near Ariseus : and 
 both the Greeks, and Ariseus, and the best of those with 
 him, swore not to betray each other, and to be allies : and 
 the barbarians swore in addition, and to lead on un- 
 deceitfully. 
 
 9. And they swore these things, having slain a boar, and 
 a bull, and a wolf, and a ram, — the Greeks indeed dipping 
 a sword into the shield, and the barbarians a lance. 
 
 10. And when these pledges were given, Clearchus said: 
 "Lead on, then, O Ariseus, since there is the same expedi- 
 tion to us and to you ; say what opinion thou hast about 
 the march — whether we depart the road by which we came, 
 or dost thou seem to have thought any other road 
 superior?" 
 
 11. And he said — "If departing indeed by the way 
 which we came, we might all perish from hunger, — for now 
 there is to us nothing of provision. . For during the last 
 seventeen stations, coming hither, we had neither anything 
 to take out of the country: and if there was anything there, 
 we passing through consumed it. And we now intend, 
 indeed, to go a longer road, but one in which we shall not 
 want provisions. 
 
 12. " But we must go the first longest stations as we 
 may be able, so that we may be greatly removed from the 
 royal army: for if once we hold on the road two or three 
 days, not any more will the king be able to seize us, for 
 indeed he will not dare to follow after us, with a small 
 army; and having a large armament, he will not be able to 
 go on quickly; and perhaps he will also have a scarcity of 
 provisions ; I at least have this opinion," said he. 
 
 13. And this generalship was nothing else than being

 able either to run away or to escape : but fortune led us on 
 better. For when day came, they went on, having the sun 
 on the right, reckoning to come along with the setting sun 
 into some villages of the Babylonian region : and in this 
 indeed they were not deceived, 
 
 14. And yet about the afternoon, they seemed to see 
 hostile horsemen ; and both these of the Greeks who hap- 
 pened not to be in their ranks, ran into the ranks, and 
 Ariseus, (for he happened to be going upon a waggon, be- 
 cause he had been wounded,) descending, armed himself 
 with a breast-plate, and those with him. 
 
 15. And while they were arming themselves, the scouts 
 sent forward, came saying, that they are not horsemen, but 
 beasts of burden were grazing. And immediately all knew, 
 that somewhere near, the king was encamped ; for also 
 smoke appeared in the villages not far off. 
 
 16. But Clearchus did not indeed lead against the enemy, 
 (for he knew the soldiers being both tired and fasting, and 
 now also it was late ;) not, however, did he turn away, 
 guarding, lest he might seem to flee; but leading straight on, 
 along with the setting sun, at the first villages, having them 
 very near, he pitched his tent, from which even the very 
 wood itself out of the houses had been plundered by the 
 royal army. 
 
 17. Those first indeed then in some like manner en- 
 camped; and the last in the dark approaching, as every one 
 happened were quartered, and they made a great shout, 
 calling on one another ; so that even the enemy heard ; so 
 that those indeed of the enemy nearest also fled from their 
 encampments. 
 
 18. And this was evident on the following day, for 
 neither did any beast of burden more appear, nor camp, nor 
 smoke, anywhere nigh. And the king also was struck, as 
 it seemed, by the approach of the army; and he showed this, 
 by what he did on the following day.

 19. This night, however, passing on, fear also falls upon 
 the Greeks, and there was bustle and noise, such as is likely 
 to be from fear falling upon men, 
 
 20. But Clearchus ordered Tolmides, an Elian, whom 
 he happened having with himself, the best herald of those at 
 that time — him he ordered to proclaim silence, having com- 
 manded that the generals declare, whoever may discover the 
 one having let loose the ass among the arms, that he shall 
 receive as pay a talent of silver. 
 
 21. And when these things were proclaimed, the soldiers 
 knew that their fear was vain, and the commanders safe. 
 And together with dawn, Clearchus ordered the Greeks to 
 put their arms into rank, in which way they had them, when 
 the battle was. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1. And even from what I wrote, it w r as evident that the 
 king was struck with this approach ; for indeed on the day 
 before, sending, he ordered tkem to give up their arms ; but 
 then with the rising sun, he sent heralds about a treaty. 
 
 2. And when they came to the outguards, they sought 
 the commanders. And when the outguards reported Cle- 
 archus happening then to be inspecting the ranks, bade the 
 outguards order the heralds to wait until he should be at 
 leisure. 
 
 3. And when he had placed the army so as to have the 
 phalanx to be seen fairly close on every side, and that none 
 of the unarmed were visible, he called the messengers, and 
 he himself also came forward, having both the best armed, 
 and handsomest of his own soldiers, and he told the other 
 generals to do the same.

 4. And when he was near the messengers, he asked 
 what they might want? And they said that they came as 
 men about a treaty, who shall be sufficient both to report 
 affairs to the Greeks from the king, and affairs from the 
 Greeks to the king. 
 
 5. And he {Clear chus) replied: — "Report therefore to 
 him, that there is need of a battle first, — for we are in want 
 of a dinner ; nor is there one about to dare to speak about a 
 truce to the Greeks, not having supplied a dinner." 
 
 6. The messengers having heard this, went away, and 
 came quickly back ; (from which also it was evident that 
 the king, or some other one, was somewhere near, to whom 
 it had been ordered to do this ;) and they said, that they 
 seem reasonable things to speak to the king, and they may 
 come, having leaders, who shall lead them, if the truce take 
 place, whence they will have provisions. 
 
 7. And he (Clearchus) asked: — "Whether he would 
 make a treaty for those men going and departing, or would 
 a treaty be also for the others?" And they said, "For all, 
 until affairs from you be announced to the king." 
 
 8. And when they said this, Clearchus having removed 
 them, deliberated ; and it seemed proper to make the treaty, 
 and quickly, and in silence, to go both for provisions, and to 
 take them. 
 
 9. And Clearchus said, — •' This also indeed seems 
 proper to me : not, however, quickly at least will I report ; 
 but I will wait until the messengers may be uneasy, lest it 
 may not seem proper to us to make a treaty ; however, I 
 think at least," said he, " that the same fear will also be 
 present to our own soldiers." But when it seemed to be 
 time, he announced, that he would make a treaty, and im- 
 mediately ordered them to lead on to provisions. 
 
 10. And they indeed led on; Clearchus, however, went, 
 being indeed about to make the truce, but having the army 
 in rank, and he himself also brought up the rear. And

 they met with ditches and canals, full of water, so that they 
 were not able to go through without bridges ; but they made 
 passages out of the palm trees, which were fallen down, 
 and some also they cut down. 
 
 11. And there it was easy to observe Clearchus, as he 
 commanded, having indeed the spear in the left hand, and 
 a stick in the right: and if any one seemed to him, of those 
 appointed, to loiter, selecting the fit one, he would strike 
 him, and, at the same time, he himself plunging into the 
 mud., would lay hold ; so that it was a shame to all not to 
 act zealously with others. 
 
 12. And those indeed having become thirty years of age, 
 were ordered by him to the work ; but when they also saw 
 Clearchus acting with zeal, the older men also laid hold. 
 
 13. And Clearchus made haste much more, suspecting 
 the ditches to be not always so full of water, (for it was not 
 the season suitable to water the plain;) but, that now many 
 things might appear terrible to the Greeks in the march, on 
 account of this, he suspected the king to have let out the 
 water upon the plain. 
 
 14. And proceeding, they came into some villages, 
 whence the leaders declared they should obtain provisions. 
 And much corn was there, and wine of palm-trees, and 
 vinegar cooked from the same. 
 
 15. And the very acorns of the palm trees, such indeed 
 it is possible to see among the Greeks, were laid by for the 
 domestics ; but those laid by for the masters, were chosen, 
 wonderful in beauty and in magnitude, and their appearance 
 differed nothing from amber; and some drying these, laid 
 them by as sweetmeats, and the liquor also from them was 
 sweet indeed, but causing headach. 
 
 16. There also the soldiers first ate the pith of the palm 
 tree, and most admired both its appearance, and the pecu- 
 liarity of its flavor; but this also was exceedingly apt to 
 give headach. And the palm tree whence the pith was 
 taken out, withered entirely.

 17. And there they remained three days; and Tissa- 
 phernes came from the great king, and the brother of the 
 wife of the king, and three other Persians ; and many 
 servants followed. And when the generals of the Greeks 
 met them, Tissaphernes first spoke such words through an 
 interpreter : — 
 
 18. "I, oh! Grecian men, live a neighbor to Greece; 
 and when I saw you having fallen into many evils, and 
 without resource, I contrived an invention if somehow I 
 might be able to beg from the king to grant me to conduct 
 you safely into Greece. For I think to have it not ungrate- 
 fully to me, neither from you nor from all Greece ;" — (i. e., 
 I think that I shall receive thanks not only from you, but 
 from all Greece.) 
 
 19. "And knowing this, I begged the king, saying to 
 him, that he would justly gratify me, because I first an- 
 nounced Cyrus both making war against him, and at the 
 same time, having help, I came with the intelligence : and I 
 alone of those arranged against the Greeks did not flee, but 
 I drove through, and joined with the king in your camp, 
 whither the king came when he killed Cyrus. And I pur- 
 sued those barbarians with Cyrus with those now present 
 with me, who are most faithful to him. 
 
 20. "And he indeed promised me to deliberate about 
 this ; and he desired me, having come, to ask you on what 
 account you moved with an army against him. And I ad- 
 vise you to answer moderately, that it may be more feasible 
 to me, if I may be able to accomplish any good to you 
 from him." 
 
 21. At this, the Greeks having withdrawn, did delibe- 
 rate, and answered, and Clearchus said: — "We neither 
 came together, as about to make war upon the king, nor 
 did we go against the king; but Cyrus found many pretences, 
 (as thou also hast known well,) that he might both take you 
 unprepared, and might lead us hither.

 22. " When, however, we now saw him being in an 
 awful state, we were ashamed, before both gods and men, to 
 betray him, affording ourselves on a former period to be 
 well treated by him. 
 
 23. " But since Cyrus hath perished, we neither contend 
 against the king for the sovereignty, nor is there any reason, 
 on account of which we may wish to treat badly the country 
 of the king; nor would we wish to kill him; but we would 
 go home, if any one do not molest us ; however, we will try, 
 with the gods, to ward off one injuring us: if, however, any 
 one also begin treating us well, even for this, we treating 
 him well, shall not be overcome, at least, for our ability." 
 He indeed thus spoke. 
 
 24. And Tissaphernes having heard, said — M I will report 
 these words to the king, and again report to you those from 
 him ; but let the truce remain, until I come, and we will 
 afford a market.." 
 
 25. And indeed on the next day he did not come, so 
 that the Greeks took care ; but on the third coming, he said, 
 that he comes, having accomplished with the king, that it 
 be granted to him to save the Greeks, although many op- 
 posing it, that it would not be becoming the king to let go 
 those warring against him. 
 
 26. And in the end, he said — "And now it is permitted 
 you to receive pledges from us, that we indeed will afford a 
 friendly country to you ; and affording a market, will lead 
 you away without treachery into Greece. And wherever 
 we do not provide a market, we will permit you to take pro- 
 vision out of the place. 
 
 27. "And again it will behove you to swear to us, that 
 you will indeed go harmlessly as through a friendly country, 
 taking food and drink, whenever we do not afford a market, 
 but, if we afford a market, that you buying, shall have pro-

 28. These conditions seemed proper ; and they swore, 
 and Tissaphernes, and the brother of the wife of the king, 
 gave right hands to the generals of the Greeks and to the 
 captains, and they received from the Greeks right hands in 
 return. 
 
 29. And after this, Tissaphernes, said — " Even now 
 indeed I depart to the king, and after I shall have accom- 
 plished what I desire, having packed up, I will come as 
 about to lead you away into Greece, and I myself departing 
 to my own principality. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1. After this, both the Greeks and Ariseus waited for 
 Tissaphernes, having encamped near each other more than 
 twenty days; and in those days, both the brothers and other 
 relations come to Ariaeus, and some of the Persians to those 
 with him ; both encouraging, and some bringing right hands — 
 (i. e., pledges) — from the king, [saying,] that the king will 
 not remember to them the injuries of their expedition with 
 Cyrus, nor any other one of those passing by. 
 
 2. And these things taking place, those about Ariseus 
 were less manifest applying their mind to the Greeks ; so 
 that this also did not indeed please most of the Greeks, 
 but approaching, they said to Clearchus and the other 
 generals: — 
 
 3. " Why do we remain ? Do we not really know that 
 the king would endeavor, beyond everything, to destroy us? 
 that fear also may be to the other Greeks to make war 
 against the king ? And now indeed he induces us to remain, 
 through this, that his army has been dispersed : but when 
 an army shall be collected for him again, it is not possible 
 how he will not set upon us.

 4. "And perhaps somewhere he either digs some ditch. t 
 or fortifies some place, that the road may be impassable. For 
 he will never at least willingly desire us, having come into 
 Greece, to report that we being thus many, conquered the 
 army of the king at his own door ; and deriding him, came 
 away. 
 
 5. And Clearchus answered those speaking these things : 
 " I indeed also think on all these things ; but I consider that 
 if we now depart, we shall seem to depart for war, and to 
 act contrary to the truce. Moreover first indeed no one 
 will afford us a market, nor whence we shall get provisions ; 
 and again there will be no one about to lead us ; and at the 
 same time, we doing ihese things, Arseus will immediately 
 keep away from us ; so that no friend shall be left to us ; 
 but even those being so, formerly will be enemies to us. 
 
 6. " But if indeed any other river therefore is also to be 
 crossed by us, I know not; but then we know the Euphrates — 
 that it is impossible to go through it, the enemy hindering 
 us. Not indeed even, if it be necessary to fight, are horses 
 as allies to us ; but the horsemen of the enemy are the most 
 numerous, and worthy of much praise ; so that conquering, 
 indeed, whom could we kill? And indeed I think that 
 no one of us being conquered, even able to be saved." 
 
 7. Then indeed as to the king, to whom the allies are so 
 many, if he is eager to destroy us, I do not know whatever 
 it behoves him to swear, and to give his right hand, and to 
 call the gods to witness a falsehood, and to make to the 
 Greeks and barbarians the pledges of himself, not to be 
 trusted." He said many such things. 
 
 8. And at this time Tissaphernes came, having his own 
 force, as departing to his home ; and Orontas, having his 
 force, and he also led a daughter of the king to marriage. 
 
 9. And from thence, Tissaphernes now leading on, and 
 affording a market, they went on : and Ariseus also went on, 
 having the barbaric army of Cyrus, together with Tissa- 
 phernes and Orontas, and encamped together with them.

 10. But the Greeks suspecting them, went on themselves, 
 by themselves, having their leaders. And they encamped 
 always holding away a parasang and less from each other, 
 and they both guarded against each other as enemies, and 
 immediately this afforded a suspicion. 
 
 11. And sometimes also gathering wood out of the same 
 place, and collecting grass and other such things, they gave 
 blows to each other, so that this also afforded enmity. 
 
 12. And having gone through three stations, they came 
 to the wall, called "the wall of Media," and they passed 
 withio it ; and it was built with baked bricks, lying in bitu- 
 men, of twenty feet in breadth, and in height a hundred, 
 and the length was said to be that of twenty parasangs, and 
 it was distant not far from Babylon. 
 
 13. And thence they went on two stations, eight para- 
 sangs, and they went through two canals, the one indeed 
 upon a bridge, and the other having been joined with seven 
 vessels ; (and these were from the river Tigris, and from 
 them ditches also had been cut in the place, the first 
 indeed large, and afterwards less : and at last even little 
 channels, as in Greece, upon the panic fields ;) and they 
 come to the river Tigris, near to which was a large and 
 populous city, the name to which was Sitace, distant from 
 the river fifteen stadii. 
 
 14. Then indeed the Greeks encamped near it, near a 
 park beautiful and large, and thick with various trees ; but 
 the barbarians having gone through the Tigris, were not, 
 however, visible. 
 
 15. And after supper, Proxenus and Xenophon hap- 
 pened being in a walk before the arms, and a certain man 
 approaching, asked the outguards, where he might see Prox- 
 enus or Clearchus ; but he did not ask for Menon ; and this, 
 too> tltoitgh being from Ariasus, the guest of Menon.

 16. And when Proxenus said that, "I am he whom thou 
 seekest," the man spoke these words : — " Arieeus sent me 
 and Artsezas, being faithful to Cyrus, and kindly disposed 
 to you ; and they order you to guard, lest the barbarians 
 may set upon you during the night ; and there is a large 
 army in the park, near. 
 
 17. " And upon the bridge of the river Tigris they order 
 you to send a guard, as Tissaphernes designs to break it 
 down by night, if he can, that you may not go through, but 
 be taken between the river and the canal." 
 
 18. Having heard this, they lead him to Clearchus, and 
 they tell what he says ; and Clearchus having heard, was 
 disturbed and feared vehemently. 
 
 19. And a certain young man of those present having 
 considered, said : — " That to make an attack, and to break 
 down the bridge, would not be a consequent ; for it is evi- 
 dent, that it will behove them making an attack, either to 
 conquer, or to be conquered. If indeed then they conquer, 
 why does it behove them to break down the bridge? for 
 neither if there be many bridges, may we have whither 
 fleeing we can be saved. 
 
 20. " And if again we conquer, the bridge having been 
 broken, they will not have whither they may flee ; nor 
 indeed will one be able of the many being beyond, to assist 
 them, the bridge having been broken down." 
 
 21. And Clearchus having heard this, asked the mes- 
 senger, how great may be the region, that is between the 
 Tigris and the canal. And the man said that it is great, 
 and there are many and large villages and cities. 
 
 22. And even then it was known, that the barbarians, 
 being reluctant, secretly sent the man, lest the Greeks, not 
 having gone over the bridge, may remain in the island, 
 having fortifications, on one side indeed, the river, and on 
 the other, the canal ; and may have provisions from the

 region, in the middle, being extensive and good, and those 
 residing in it being about to work it; and then also it 
 would be a refuge, if any may wish to annoy the king. 
 
 23. And after this, they went to rest: upon the bridge, 
 however, they nevertheless sent a guard : and neither did 
 any one from any place set on them, nor did any one of the 
 enemy come to the bridge, as those guarding reported. 
 
 24. And when morning came, they went over the bridge, 
 being joined with thirty and seven vessels, and most guard- 
 edly as it was possible : for some of the Greeks from Tissa- 
 phernes reported, that they may be about to attack them, 
 passing over ; but this indeed was false ; they passing over, 
 however, Glus, with others, appeared to them, looking on, 
 if they may pass over the river ; and when he saw them 
 'passed over, he went away driving on. 
 
 25. And from the Tigres then went on four stations, 
 twenty parasangs, to the river Physcus, the breadth of a 
 plethrum ; and a bridge was over it. And there was in- 
 habited a large city, to which was the name Opis : near 
 which the bastard brother of Cyrus and of Artaxerxes met 
 the Greeks, leading a great army from Susa and Ecbatana, 
 as about to help the king ; and having halted the army of 
 himself, he viewed the Greeks passing by. 
 
 26. And Clearchus led on indeed in two abreast, and 
 at one time he went on, and at another standing. And as 
 long a time as the leading of the army halted, so long a 
 time was there a necessity for a halt to be made through the 
 whole army; so that the army seemed also to the Greeks 
 themselves to be very large, and that the Persian had been 
 astonished viewing it. 
 
 27. And thence they proceeded through Media six 
 desert stations, thirty parasangs, to the villages of Parysa- 
 tis, the mother of Cyrus and of the king. Tissaphernes,

 scoffing Cyrus, permitted the Greeks to plunder these, 
 except the slaves. And there was in them much corn, and 
 many sheep, and other things. 
 
 28. And thence they went on five desert stations, twenty 
 parasangs, having the river Tigres on the left. And in the 
 first station, beyond the river was inhabited, a city large and 
 prosperous, Csenae, as to name, from which the barbarians 
 brought on leathern rafts, bread, cheeses, wine. 
 
 chapter v. 
 
 1. After this, they come to the river Zabatus, the breadth 
 of four plethra. And there they remained three days: and 
 in these days there were suspicions indeed, but no plot ap- 
 pear d visible. 
 
 2. It seemed proper then to Clearchus to meet with 
 Tissaphernes, and if somehow he may be able, to stop the 
 suspicions before war arise from them : and he sent one 
 about to say, that he may want to meet with him, and he 
 readily ordered him to come. 
 
 3. And when they came together, Clearchus speaks 
 these words : — " I know O Tissaphernes, that oaths indeed 
 have been taken by us, and right hands given, not to injure 
 each other : but I see thee watching us as enemies. 
 
 4. But when looking closely, I am able neither to per- 
 ceive thee trying to treat us badly in anything, and I clearly 
 know that we at least neither intend anything such, it 
 seemed proper to me to come to conversation with thee, how, 
 ii we may be able, we might remove the distrust of each 
 other. 
 
 5. w For I also now know men, some indeed out of 
 calumny, and also some from suspicion, who fearing each 
 other, wishing to be beforehand, before they suffered, did 
 incurable evils to those neither being about, nor wishing to 
 do any such thing.

 6. " Thinking, therefore, such misunderstandings would 
 best cease by conversation, I come and I wish to inform 
 thee, that thou dost not rightly distrust us. 
 
 7. " For the first indeed and greatest thing is, the oaths 
 of the gods hinder us to be hostile to each other, and who- 
 ever is conscious to himself, as having disregarded these, 
 that man I never would deem happy. For as to a war with the 
 gods, I know not, neither with what speed, nor whither any 
 one fleeing, could escape, nor into what darkness he might 
 run, nor how he might withdraw into a secure place; for all 
 things in every way are subject to the gods, and on every 
 side the gods govern all equally. 
 
 8. " Even indeed about the gods, and also the oaths, I 
 thus know, with whom we establishing a friendship, have 
 deposited it, and of human affairs, I at least think thee in the 
 present affair, to be the greatest good to us. 
 
 9. " For indeed with thee, all the road indeed to us is 
 easy, and every river passable, and there is not a want of 
 provisions: but without thee, all the road indeed is through 
 darkness, (for we know nothing of it,) and every river diffi- 
 cult to pass; and every multitude is terrible, and solitude 
 most terrible, for it is full of much difficulty. 
 
 10. "And even if we also being mad, might kill thee, 
 what other thing will it be, than, having slain our benefactor, 
 we may contend against the king, the great avenger? and 
 even I will mention this, of how great hopes also I should 
 deprive myself, if I should attempt to do any evil to thee. 
 
 11. " For I desired Cyrus to be a friend to me, thinking 
 him of those then in life to be most efficient to benefit any, 
 whom he might wish. But now I see thee having both the 
 power of Cyrus, and territory, and retaining thy own prin- 
 cipality, and the power of the king, this being an ally to 
 thee, which power Cyrus experienced hostile.

 wishes not to be a friend to thee 1 But indeed, for I also

 will say this, (from which I have hopes, that thou also wilt 
 wish to be a friend to us.) 
 
 13. i; For indeed I know of the Mysians being trouble- 
 some to you, whom I may hope with my present force to 
 render submissive to you : and I also know of the Pisidians: 
 and I also hear that there are many other such nations, 
 which I think to make to cease always troubling your hap- 
 piness. And as to the Egyptians, against whom especially 
 I know you now to be enraged, I do not see what power as 
 ally you using would better chastise with, than the one being 
 now with me. 
 
 14. " But indeed among those at least inhabiting around, 
 if thou indeed wish to be a friend to some one, thou mayest 
 be a very great one ; and if any one may molest thee as a 
 master, thou mayest subdue, having us thy servants, who 
 would not only serve thee on account of pay, but even for 
 the favor which we being saved under thee would justly have 
 for thee. 
 
 15. " To me indeed thinking upon all these things, it 
 appears to be so wonderful for thee to distrust us, so that 
 also I might pleasantly hear the name of him who is so 
 powerful to speak, so as in speaking, to persuade thee that 
 we plot against thee." Clearchus indeed then spoke such 
 things, and thus Tissaphernes answered . — 
 
 16. " But I am indeed delighted, O Clearchus, hearing 
 intelligent words from thee: for knowing this, if thou wish 
 any evil to me, thou seemest to me to be also evil-minded to 
 thyself. But as thou shouldst learn that you neither justly 
 would distrust the king nor me, hear in thy turn. 
 
 17. " For if we wished to destroy you, whether do we 
 seem to thee to be in want of a multitude of horsemen, or of 
 infantry, or of armor, in which we may be able indeed to 
 injure you, but no danger to suffer in return? 
 
 18. " But do we appear to thee to be in want of suitable 
 places to attack you ? Do you not with much labor indeed

 cross at all, unless we may convey you over. 
 
 19. " But if in all these we are conquered, but at least 
 the fire is greater than the fruit: which we, having burnt 
 down, may be able to oppose famine to you, which you, 
 neither if you may be very brave, may be able to fight. 
 
 20. " How then can it be, having so many ways to 
 make war against you, and that no one of these [is] dangerous 
 to us, moreover out of all these, we may choose the mode, 
 which only indeed is impious before gods, and alone base 
 before men. 
 
 21. "But it is altogether of those destitute, and without 
 resource, and held by necessity, and of those wretched, 
 whoever are willing to do anything by perjury, both towards 
 gods, and infidelity towards men. Not so are we, O 
 Clearchus, nor are we silly, nor inconsiderate. 
 
 22. " But why even, it being in our power to destroy 
 you, did we not come upon this? Know well, that my love 
 is the cause of this, that for this I shall be faithful to the 
 Greeks, and to which foreign force Cyrus trusting through 
 pay-giving, went up, that I came down strong in this through 
 beneficence. 
 
 23. " And as to what you will be useful to me, these 
 thou indeed also hast mentioned, but I know the greatest : 
 for indeed it is permitted to the king alone to have the turban 
 upright upon the head, but perhaps, you being present, even 
 another easily may have it upon the heart." 
 
 24. Having spoken these words, he seemed to Clearchus 
 to speak truth : and he said — " Such things being neces- 
 sary to us for friendship, are not then those worthy

 to suffer the utmost severity, who traducing, try to make us 
 enemies. 
 
 25. " And I indeed," said Tissaphernes, " if you wish, 
 both the generals, and the captains, to come to me in a 
 public manner, I will tell of those saying to me, that thou 
 plottest against both me, and the army with me." 
 
 26. "And I," said Ciearchus, "will bring all, and, in 
 turn, I will show to thee whence I hear about thee." 
 
 27. After these words, Tissaphernes even then indeed 
 showing kindness, both desired him to remain, and made 
 him a supper-companion, and on the next day, Ciearchus 
 having come to the camp, was both entirely apparent think- 
 ing to be situated in a friendly manner with Tissaphernes, 
 and told what he reported : he said also that it behoved those 
 to go to Tissaphernes whom he ordered, and whoever of the 
 Greeks should be convicted traducing, that it behoves them 
 as being traitors and evil-minded to the Greeks, to be 
 punished. 
 
 28. And he suspected Menon to be the one traducing, 
 knowing him also having been with Tissaphernes along with 
 Ariseus, and opposing him, and plotting against him, how, 
 getting all the army to himself, he may be a friend to Tissa- 
 phernes. 
 
 29. And Ciearchus also wished all the army to have 
 their attention for. himself, and those vexing him to be out of 
 the way. And some of the soldiers opposed him that all the 
 captains and generals should not go, nor trust to Tissa- 
 phernes. 
 
 30. But Ciearchus contended strongly, until indeed he 
 prevailed on five generals and twenty captains to go, and 
 also about two hundred of the other soldiers followed to- 
 gether, as if to market. 
 
 31. And when they were at the door of Tissaphernes, the 
 generals indeed were invited in, Proxenus, a Boeotian, Menon,

 Thessalian, Agias, an Arcadian, Clearchus, a Laconian, 
 Socrates, an Achaean ; but the captains remained at the 
 door. 
 
 32. And in not much time after from the same si anal, 
 both those within were seized, and those without were cut 
 down. And after this, some of the barbarian horsemen 
 scouring through the plain, killed all, whatever Greek they 
 met, either slave or free. 
 
 33. And the Greeks looking out from the camp, won- 
 dered at both the riding of them, and doubted, what they 
 were doing, before Nicarchus, an Arcadian, came fleeing, 
 having been wounded in the belly, and holding the entrails 
 in the hands, and related all that had occurred, 
 
 34. After this, therefor, the Greeks ran to their arms, 
 all having been struck, and thinking they would come im- 
 mediately to the camp. 
 
 35. But they came not indeed all, but Ariaeus, and Ar- 
 taozus, and Mithridates, who were most faithful to Cyrus : 
 and the interpreter of the Greeks said also that he saw the 
 brother of Tissaphernes with them, and that he knew him: 
 and also others of the Persians, armed with cuirasses, to 
 three hundred, followed them. 
 
 36. When these were near, if there may be any of the 
 Greeks, either general or captain, they desired him to 
 approach, that they should report affairs from the king. 
 
 37. With this there came forth of the Greeks, watchful 
 indeed, the Generals Cleanor, an Orchomenian, and Sophas- 
 netus, a Stymphalian, and with them Xenophon, an Athe- 
 nian, that he might learn affairs about Proxenus, (And 
 Cheirisophus happened being absent in some village with 
 others getting provision.) 
 
 38. And when they stood within hearing, Ariaeus 
 says : — " Clearchus indeed, O Greeks, since he has appeared 
 both swearing falsely and breaking the treaty, has been 
 punished and has died : but Proxenus and Menon, because

 they denounced his plot, are in great honor : bat the king 
 demands of you the arms : for he says that they are his, 
 since they were those of Cyrus his servant. 
 
 39. To this the Greeks answered, (and Cleanor, the Orcho- 
 menian, said,) O Ariseus, worst of men, and the others, as 
 many as were friends of Cyrus, respect you neither gods nor 
 men, who having sworn to think the same friends and ene- 
 mies to us, betraying us, with Tissaphernes helping you, both 
 the most godless, and most crafty, have thus destroyed both the 
 very men, to whom you swore, and having betrayed us the 
 others, you come upon us with our enemies. 
 
 40. And Ariseus said : for Clearchus was visible before 
 plotting against both Tissaphernes and Orontas, and all us 
 who are with them. 
 
 41. And upon this, Xenophon said these words : Clear- 
 chus indeed therefor, if, contrary to the oaths, he has 
 broken the treaty, suffers punishment : (for it is just that 
 those swearing falsely, perish.) But since Proxenus and 
 Menon are your benefactors indeed, but our generals, send 
 them hither : for it is evident, that, at least being friends to 
 both, they will try to advise the best things, both to you and 
 to us." 
 
 42. In regard to these things, the barbarians, having 
 conversed a long time with each other, went away, having 
 answered nothing. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1. Even the generals indeed being thus taken, were led 
 up to the king, and being cut off [as to their] heads, 
 perished : one of them indeed, Clearchus, by the consent of 
 all those having any experience of him, appearing to have 
 been a man both extremely warlike and fond of war.

 2. For even also, whilst indeed there was war to the 
 Lacedaemonians with the Athenians, he remained near : but 
 when peace came, having persuaded his own city that the 
 Thracians injure the Greeks, and having accomplished as 
 he was able with the Ephori, he sailed away as about to make 
 war on the Thracians above the Chersonese, and Perinthus. 
 
 3. But when the Ephori somehow having changed their 
 mind, he now being away, tried to bring him back from the 
 Isthmus, there no more is he persuaded, but he went away 
 sailing to the Hellespont. 
 
 4. And from this he was condemned to die by the digni- 
 ties — [i. e., chief magistrates] — in Sparta, as being disobedient. 
 But now being a fugitive, he comes to Cyrus, and it has been 
 said elsewhere with what words indeed he persuaded Cyrus. 
 But Cyrus gives to him ten thousand dories. 
 
 5. And he having taken it, turned not to indolence, but 
 with this money having collected an army, he made war 
 upon the Thracians, and both conquered them in battle, and 
 from that time plundered and wasted them ; and he con- 
 tinued making war till what time Cyrus had need of his 
 army: and then he went away, as with him again about to 
 make war. 
 
 6. These then seem to be the actions of a man fond of 
 war, who, it being permitted indeed to lead peace — (i. e., to 
 live in peace) — without shame and harm, chooses to make 
 war : and it being permitted to have wealth without danger, 
 chooses, by making war, to make it less. And he was 
 willing to spend on war, just as on amours, or on any other 
 pleasure : to such a degree indeed therefor was he fond of 
 war. 
 
 7. And again he seemed to be warlike in this way, that 
 
 he was both fond of danger, and by day and night leading 
 
 on against the enemy, and prudent in terrible affairs, as all 
 
 being present, everywhere agreed.

 8. And he was said also to be fit to rule, as it was pos- 
 sible from such a manner as he also had. For indeed he 
 was sufficient to take care as even any other, how his army 
 skill have provisions, and to prepare them : and also com- 
 petent to impress those present, that obedience must be given 
 to Clearchus. 
 
 9. And he effected this from being severe. For also 
 he was stern to behold: and rough in the voice: and 
 always chastised rigorously, and sometimes in anger, so that 
 it even repented him, it is when — [i. £., occasionally.] And 
 he also chastised from principle: for he thought the utility 
 of an army unpunished to be nothing. 
 
 10. But they also reported him to say, that it behoves 
 the soldier to fear the commander more than the enemy, if 
 he is about either to keep guard, or to hold off from friends, 
 or promptly to go against the enemy. 
 
 11. Therefore in awful affairs indeed the soldiers were 
 very willing to obey him, and did not seek another. For 
 they also declared his sternness in the face then to appear 
 cheerful, and his surliness seemed to be powerful against the 
 enemy: so that it appeared salutary, and no more surly. 
 
 12. But when they were without danger, and it was 
 permitted to go to other chiefs, many left him : for he 
 had not an agreeable manner, but was always harsh arid 
 severe: so that the soldiers were towards him, just as boys 
 towards a teacher. 
 
 13. And therefore he never indeed had them following 
 him from friendship, and good will : but whoever having 
 been ordered either by the state, or being held by some need, 
 or some other necessity, obeyed him, whom he experienced 
 very submissive. 
 
 14. And also when they began to conquer the enemy

 with him, there were now some things great, causing the 
 soldiers with him to be useful ; for both the having themselves 
 boldly against the enemy was present, and the dreading of 
 punishment from him made them orderly. 
 
 15. Even such indeed was he as a commander; but he 
 was said not to be very willing to be commanded by others. 
 And he was, when he died, about fifty years of age. 
 
 16. And. Proxenus, the Boeotian, being indeed a youth, 
 forthwith desired to be a man competent to do great things; 
 and through this desire, he gave money to Gorgias, the 
 Leontian. 
 
 17. And when he was with him, thinking now to be 
 competent also to command, and being a friend to chief men, 
 not to be conquered conferring benefits, he came into those 
 actions with Cyrus: and he expected to acquire from these 
 a great name, and great power, and much wealth. 
 
 18. And desiring these, he had it also again very evident, 
 that he wished to acquire none of these with injustice, but 
 with justice and honor he thought he ought to obtain these, 
 but not, without them. 
 
 19. And he was able indeed to command honorable and 
 good men ; not however sufficient to impress upon the soldiers 
 a respect of himself nor fear, but he even stood more in awe 
 of the soldiers, than those commanded stood in awe of him ; 
 and more afraid was he evident to incur the hatred of the 
 soldiers, than the soldiers the distrusting of him. 
 
 20. And he thought to be, and to seem to suffice for 
 capability in ruling, to praise the one indeed doing well, but 
 not to praise the one injuring. Wherefor the honorable 
 indeed and good of those with him, were well disposed to 
 him, but the unjust plotted against him, as being easy to be 
 managed. And when he died, he was almost of thirty 
 years.

 21. And Menon, the Thessalian, was apparent desiring 
 indeed greatly to be rich, but desiring to rule, that he may 
 acquire more: and desiring to be honored, that he may gain 
 more : he wished also to be a friend to those being able to do 
 the most, that injuring, he might not surfer punishment. 
 
 22. And for the effecting of what he desired, he thought 
 the shortest road to be both through false swearing, and de- 
 ceiving and imposing, — but thought both integrity and truth 
 to be the same with folly. 
 
 23. And he was visible indeed loving no one, but to 
 whomsover he professed to be a friend, he was manifest 
 plotting against him. And he derided no enemy indeed, but 
 always talked as deriding all those being with him. 
 
 2-i. And he did not indeed plot against the possessions 
 of the enemy; (for he thought^ to be difficult to take the 
 property of those guarding ;) but he alone thought he 
 knew that it is easy to take the property of friends as un- 
 guarded. 
 
 25. And tlwse whom indeed he perceived perjured and 
 unjust, he feared as well armed : but he tried to use the holy, 
 and those exercising truth, as unmanly. 
 
 26. And just as any one delights in piety, and in truth 
 and justice, so Menon delighted in being able to deceive, in 
 framing lies, in mocking friends ; and he thought the man 
 not crafty, to be of the uninstructed. And with whom indeed 
 he attempted to be first in friendship, he thought that he 
 ought to acquire these by traducing the first. 
 
 27. And he contrived to render the soldiers obedient 
 from injuring along with them. And he expected to be 
 honored and to be attended, showing, that he may be able and 
 may be willing to injure the most. And he reckoned it a 
 good deed, when any one withdrew from him, that having 
 made use of him he had not destroyed him.

 28. And indeed even as to things invisible, it is permitted to 
 be deceived about him ; but these are things which all know. 
 With Arfstippus indeed being yet in the prime of life, he 
 obtained to command the foreigners ; and being yet in his 
 prime, he was most intimate with Ariseus, being a barbarian, 
 because he delighted in beautiful youths ; and he himself 
 being beardless, had Tharypas, a full-grown man, in 
 amours. 
 
 29. And his fellow-officers dying, because with Cyrus 
 they made war against the king, though having done the 
 same, he did not die then; but after the death of the other 
 generals, being punished by the king, he died; not as 
 Clearchus and the other, being cut off as to their heads, 
 (which seems to be the speediest death,) but living a year 
 being treated indignantly, as wretched, he is said to have 
 met his end. 
 
 30. But Agias, the Arcadian, and Socrates, the x\chsean, 
 these two also died; but not did any one deride these as 
 cowardly in battle, nor blamed them with regard to friend- 
 ship ; and they were both about forty yews of age from their 
 birth.

DEMOSTHENES' 
 
 OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS. 
 
 ORATION I. 
 
 1. O ! Athenians, I think you would prefer instead of 
 much wealth, if this, about which you deliberate now, about 
 to be useful to the city, were made evident. 
 
 2. Since then this is so, it behoves you to be willing to 
 hear eagerly those wishing to counsel you. For, if any one 
 come, having thought on any thing useful, having heard *£, 
 not only would you receive this ; but even I regard as an 
 effect of your fortune, many of these things necessary would 
 come immediately to some to say, so that the choice of tho 
 useful would become easy to you out of all counsels. 
 
 3. Then, O Athenians, the present time indeed putting 
 forth a voice, almost says, that there is to yourselves a 
 seizing of those things, — (i. e., you must lay hold of these 
 affairs yourselves,) — if at all you are concerned for the safety 
 of yourselves. But I do not know what disposition we 
 appear to me to have with regard to them. Now these are 
 the tilings appearing proper to me, on one hand to decree 
 immediately assistance, and to prepare, (in the way) the most 
 speedy, that you may help from this city, and that you may 
 not suffer the same which you suffered also before : but that 
 you send an embassy which will declare these things, and 
 shall attend to these affairs : as this fear is especially that lie

 being an enterprising man, and powerful to make use of 
 affairs, yielding indeed in some things when he may meet 
 them, and threatening [in] some things, (but he would ap- 
 pear justly faith-worthy in his threats,) but in some things 
 accusing us and our absence, lest he turn away, and draw 
 to himself something of all the affairs of Greece. 
 
 4. But opportunely, Athenians, that, which is the most 
 formidable of the affairs of Philip, is also the best for you. 
 For that he being one is master of all, both of things spoken, 
 and not spoken, and, at the same time, general, and sove- 
 reign, and umpire, and is present himsel'f everywhere with 
 the army, contributes much indeed to executing promptly, and 
 in time, the affairs of the war, but he is in opposition to the 
 reconciliation which he being pleased would make with the 
 Olynthians: for it is evident to the Olynthians that now they 
 war not for glory, nor for a portion of country, but about 
 the ruin and enslavement of the country; and they know 
 what he did to those of the Amphipolitans, giving up the 
 city to him, and to those of the Pydnians having received 
 him : and royalty is a [thing], I think, generally suspicious 
 to republics, and especially if also they have a neighboring 
 country. 
 
 5. Then I say that it behoves you, O Athenians, know- 
 ing this, and thinking on all the other matters which it be- 
 comes you, to be willing, and to be stirred up, and to apply to 
 the war, and now, if ever, contributing money eagerly, and 
 going out to fight yourselves, and omitting nothing. For 
 neither reason nor pretence of not wishing to do the things 
 necessary is any longer left to you. 
 
 6. For what you all would say, that it is necessary to 
 incite to war the Olynthians against Philip, has happened of 
 itself, and these things have happened that they may especially

 aid you. For indeed if being persuaded by you they had 
 undertaken the war, they would perhaps be allies unsafe, 
 and having thought of these things until a certain \time\; 
 but since they hate him on account of his criminations 
 against them, it is likely that they have a steadfast hatred 
 for what they dread, and have suffered. 
 
 7. Surely, oh ! Athenians, it does not behove you to let 
 slip such an occasion happening, nor to suffer the same 
 thing, which already you have suffered often before. For if 
 when we came, having assisted the Eubseans, and icken 
 Hierax and Stratocles, deputies of the Amphipolitans, came 
 to this tribunal, ordering you to set sail and to take their city 
 under you, had we displayed also for ourselves the same 
 ardor, which we displayed for the safety of the Eubseans, 
 you would then have Amphipolis, and you would be de- 
 livered from all those affairs after these : and again when 
 Pydna, Potidse, Methone, and Pagasse, and other places^ 
 (that I may not detain you mentioning them one by one,) 
 were announced being besieged, if then we ourselves had 
 assisted one of these cities, the first attacked eagerly, and as 
 it became us, we would now find Philip more easy, and 
 much more humble. But now indeed always abandoning 
 the present, but thinking things about to be of themselves 
 favorable, we have both aggrandized Philip, O Athenians, 
 and we have made him so great, such as never any king of 
 Macedonia has been. 
 
 8. But now an occasion comes : — What is it ? This, 
 that of the Olynthians to the city, of its own accord, which 
 is less than any one of those before. And any one would 
 appear to me indeed, being established a just calculator of 
 things granted to us from the the gods, O! Athenians, 
 although many things not being as it behoves them 
 to be, yet that they have great gratitude to them with 
 reason. For indeed any one will justly attribute from our 
 negligence the having lost many things during the war:

 but I indeed would place as a good deed of benevolence 
 from them the not having suffered this for a long time, and 
 the having shown to us a certain alliance capable of repair- 
 ing those evils, if we wish to make use of them. But I think 
 that what is also about the possession of riches is similar. 
 For indeed if any one preserve also what things he has re- 
 ceived, he has great gratitude for fortune; but if he dissipate 
 them unknowingly, he dissipates also the remembering of 
 gratitude to fortune. \It is] thus also about affairs. Some 
 men not rightly having made use of opportunities, neither re- 
 member if anything useful has happened from the gods • for 
 every thing of those preceding is judged for the most part 
 according to the thing happening last. Wherefore also it 
 behoves you, O ! Athenians, to think strongly of things re- 
 maining, that having redressed these affairs, we may efface 
 the dishonor on those things done. 
 
 9. But if, O! Athenians, we also abandon these men — if 
 he subjects Olynthus — let any one tell me what will be the 
 thing still hindering him to march where he wishes ? Now 
 does any one of you, O ! Athenians, reflect and consider the 
 manner by which Philip being weak at the beginning, be- 
 came great? First, having taken Ampbipolis, — after that, 
 Pydna, — afterwards, Potidea, — then, Mythone, — then, he in- 
 vaded Thessaly: after that, having disposed of Pheres, and 
 Pagasy, and Magnesia, [in] every way which he wished, he 
 went away into Thrace, then there, on one hand, having 
 driven away some [of the kings,]and, on the other, having 
 placed iqwn the throne others of the kings, he became sick ; 
 having again become well, he did not incline to idleness, but 
 immediately attacked the Olynthians ; but I pass over his 
 expeditions against the Illyrians and the Peonians, and 
 against Arymbas, and wherever any one might say. 
 u Why, then," some one may say, " sayest thou these 
 things now to us?" It is, that you may know, O Athe- 
 nians, and perceive both affairs, and how the abandoning

 THE SECOND PART. 
 
 MEANS OF CAUSING THE EXPEDITION TO SUCCEED.

 always one by one any one of the affairs [is] injurious, and 
 the mad ambition which Philip makes use of \ and with which 
 he lives towards all, from which there is not a icay how 
 being content with things done, he shall have rest. But if, 
 indeed, he shall be thoughtful, as it behoves always, to do 
 something greater than the present, and if we think that we 
 must perform no one of our affairs with ardor, consider if 
 any hope is ever to terminate these : by the gods, who is 
 there of you so simple, who does not know that the war is 
 about to come from thence hither, if we take not care ? But 
 yet if this happen, I fear, O! Athenians, lest in the same 
 manner as those lending and abounding easily in interest 
 great for a little while, afterwards are deprived even of 
 their old property, so also I fear lest we appear idle at much 
 expense, and seeking all things for pleasure, I fear that at 
 last we may come to a necessity of doing many things and 
 troublesome, which we would not wish to do, and I fear that 
 we would risk danger about property in the country itself. 
 
 10. Now then, some one will say, perhaps, that to blame 
 is more easy, and in the power of every man, but to discover 
 respecting present affairs, what becomes us to do — that this 
 is the part of an adviser. But I, O ! Athenians, am not 
 ignorant of this, that often you treat in anger those not 
 guilty, but the latter having spoken about affairs, if anything 
 happen not according to your expectation. Not, however, 
 do I think, at least, that it behoves one considering the 
 private safety, to dissemble about what things I think to be 
 useful to you. I say then that there is to you a necessity in 
 two ways to bring help to your affairs, both by saving the 
 towns to the Olynthians, and sending some soldiers about to 
 do that ; and by treating his country badly, both by triremes, 
 and by other soldiers.

 11. But if you neglect one of these, I fear lest the expe- 
 dition may become useless to us, for if you treating his 
 country badly, he suffering this, will subject Olymhus, 
 having gone to his own country he will easily defend it: if 
 you having given help only to Olynthus, seeing his affairs 
 at home being without danger, he will encamp near, and 
 attend to his affairs, and will reduce, in time, the beseiged. 
 It behoves then assistance to be great and two-fold. 
 
 12. And indeed I think these things, regarding assist- 
 ance. But about the supply of money ; there is money to 
 you, O Athenians, — there are military funds to you, which 
 are to no one of other men. But you take this money 
 thus as you wish. Then in truth if you pay this 
 money to those warring, there is need to you of no other 
 supply: but if not, there is need of it, and rather there is 
 need of every supply. " What then," would any one say, 
 "dost thou propose this money to be military?" [i.e., for 
 tlie war.] By Jupiter, not I, indeed ; for in truth, I think it 
 becomes soldiers to be raised, and it behoves this money to 
 be military, — (i. e., raised for war) — and a single mode to 
 be the same, both of recovering, and of doing things neces- 
 sary. But you take it thus for your feasts in some way, 
 without affairs — (i. e., without utility.) Then it is remain- 
 ing, I think, that all contribute much, if there is need of 
 much : little, if there is need of little. Surely, there is need 
 of money, and without this, not one of those things neces- 
 sary, is to be. But other orators mention also some other 
 means, of which ye will choose whatever may appear to 
 you to profit, and undertake affairs, whilst there is time.

 14. But it is proper to reflect and to reason upon affairs, 
 in what state those of Philip are now established. For neither 
 the present affairs are found with him very excellent, (as it 
 appears, and as any one would say, not considering them 
 exactly,) nor as very illustrious : neither would he have ever 
 undertaken this war, if he had thought that he would need 
 to make war. But he hoped to gain all these things then, 
 when having come : and then he has been deceived. Now 
 this first affair happening contrary to his expectation, 
 troubles him, and causes great discouragement to him : then 
 the affairs of the Thessalians trouble him. For, these 
 people were indeed faithless, even always to all men cer- 
 tainly by nature, and they are even now towards him 
 entirely as they were always. For they arc even deter- 
 mined to ask back from him Pagasee ; and have hindered 
 him to fortify Magnesia. 
 
 15. And I have heard from some that they would 
 neither grant to him any more to enjoy their ports and 
 boundaries ; for it behoves them to administer the common 
 property of the Thessalians from that which it would not 
 behove Philip to obtain. And if he be deprived of this 
 money, that money for the maintainance to foreign troops 
 will be reduced to him quite to a strait. But indeed it be- 
 hoves us to think the Pseonian and the Illyrian, and, in a 
 word, all those would be more willingly independent and 
 free, than slaves: for also they are unaccustomed to obey 
 any one, and the man Philip is insolent, as they say. And, 
 by Jupiter, nothing perhaps in that is incredible : for to do 
 well against merit becomes to senseless people an occasion 
 for thinking badly: wherefore often to guard property seems 
 to be more difficult than to acquire it.

 the unfavorable time of this man, to be your opportunity to 
 push forward promptly your affairs, and sending deputies to 
 those jiloxes to which it behoves you, and making war your- 
 selves, and inciting all others, reflecting that if Philip take 
 such an occasion against us, and if the war happen in our 
 country, how promptly do you think him about to come 
 against us ? Then do you not blush, if you dare not, not 
 having an opportunity, to do those things which you would 
 suffer if he were able. 
 
 17. Therefore, O Athenians, let not this still escape 
 your notice, that there is a choice to you now whether it be- 
 hoves you to war there, or him to war with you here. For 
 indeed if the affairs of the Olynthians resist, you will make 
 war there, and you will treat badly — (i. e., ravage it) — the 
 country being possessed by him, and enjoying fearlessly 
 this your own country : but if Philip seize those possessio?is 
 of the Olynthians, who will hinder him even to march 
 hither? The Thebans 1 I fear lest it may be too disagree- 
 able to say they will join readily with him. But will the 
 Phocians? Those not being capable to defend their own 
 country, if you do not assist them. Or will any other assist 
 them ? But O ! my friend, says one, he will not attempt it. 
 And would it not indeed be of the most unpleasant affairs, 
 if being able he shall not do those things, which though in- 
 curring folly, he yet utters now. But truly I think we shall 
 neither need a discourse to show how great at least is the 
 difference to make war here or there. For if it behoved 
 you yourselves to be abroad thirty days only, and to take 
 of those things from the country, which tliere is necessity 
 to obtain, making use of an army, (I speak of no enemy 
 being in the country itself,) I think your cultivators would 
 experience more than what has been expended for all that 
 
 war before. But surely if anv war come, how much does it

 18. It behoves them all beholding these things, to assist, 
 and to drive war hence: on one hand, the rich, so that 
 sacrificing small things for great things which they doing 
 well possess, and enjoy the rest without fear ; but it behoves 
 those in age to carry arms, that having acquired the expe- 
 rience of warring in the country of Philip, they become 
 formidable guards of the nviolate country : and it behoves 
 the orators that the accounts of affairs administered become 
 easy to them : as you shall be also to them such judges of 
 things done, as shall be the affairs which shall establish you. 
 And may tJiosse be favorable to every citizen.

 Subject of the Discourse. — The request of the Olynthians had been 
 granted. A decree promised them assistance, the sending of which 
 was delayed by the fear which the Athenians had of engaging in a 
 war with an enemy so formidable as Philip. Exordium by insinu- 
 ation — the war which is kindled between Philip and a people so 
 near his states, is a sensible proof of the good-will of the gods for 
 the Athenians.

 ORATION II. 
 
 1. Some one indeed seems to me to have seen, O ! Athe- 
 nians, the benevolence of the gods become visible to the 
 state, in many things, but not less in the present affairs. 
 For that there have arisen those warring against Philip, 
 possessing also a bordering country, and a certain power, and 
 (the greatest thing of all) having the purpose for war such; 
 as to think treaties with him to be, first indeed, faithless, 
 then, the ruin of their own country, appears by a certain 
 godlike benevolence and altogether divine. Therefor, O ! 
 Athenians, it behoves ourselves to consider this now, how 
 we shall not appear worse towards ourselves than our 
 present circumstances, as it is of shameful things ; but 
 rather of very shameful things to appear not only abandon- 
 ing cities and places of which we were formerly masters, 
 but even abandoning both allies and opportunities furnished 
 by fortune. 
 
 2. Then indeed, O ! Athenians, I think to go over the 
 force of Philip, and to excite you by these discourses to do 
 the things necessary to be not well — (i. e., useless.) Why? 
 Because all things which any one may say about these 
 forces, appear to me indeed to have a certain glory for 
 him, and to have been done not well for us. For indeed

 CONFIRMATION. 
 
 First Motive. — So many nations whose confidence 
 Philip has deceived, will not let themselves be abused, a 
 second time, by his promises.

 this man is thought by all so much more astonish- 
 ing as he has done more things above the merit of 
 himself: but you have incurred shame by so much 
 greater as ye have served affairs worse than it behoved. I 
 shall indeed pass by then these. For also, O Athenians, if 
 any one would consider with truthfulness, he would see him 
 having become great thence — (i. e. by your means)- — not 
 by himself. Then I do not see now the time to speak of 
 those things of which indeed he owes the favor to those 
 citizens governed for him (i. e. in his interest), but for which 
 it behoves you to inflict punishment : but I shall endeavor to 
 mention those things which are still apart from these, and 
 which it is important for you all to know, and which, O ! 
 Athenians, would appear against him a great reproach to 
 those wishing to judge rightly. Then indeed some one 
 would say justly, that to call Philip perjured and faithless, 
 without showing the things done, is a vain defamation. 
 But also it is meet that the going over all those which he 
 has ever done, to convict him upon them all, need a short 
 discourse ; and I think those to have been mentioned, will 
 profit on account of two reasons ; and for this, that he ap- 
 pear base, (which even is found true,) and for this, that those 
 admiring Philip with fear, as one invincible, should see that 
 he has passed by all those by which having previously de- 
 ceived, he has now become great, and that his affairs come 
 to the same end. 
 
 3. For indeed, O ! Athenians, I would also myself think 
 Philip to be very formidable and wonderful, if seeing him 
 become great doing things just : but now contemplating and 
 considering, I find him having deceived, on one hand, our 
 simplicity, in the beginning, when some citizens drove the 
 Olynthians hence, wishing to speak with us, by this,

 in professing to deliver up Amphipolis, and preparing 
 secretly that affair, formerly noised abroad, and having 
 surprised the friendship of the Olynthians after this, in 
 seizing Potidsea, being ours, and indeed to have injured us 
 previously his allies, and to deliver it to them, and as to the 
 last affairs, the Thessalians, by promising to give up Mag- 
 nesia, and to profess to make war for them, viz., the Phocian 
 war. And, upon the whole, there is no one of those having 
 served him whom he has not deceived, for deceiving and 
 attracting to himself always the ignorance of all those not 
 knowing him he has become great thus. Then as he has 
 been raised great through these means, when all thought 
 him to do something useful for them : so it also behoves 
 to be reversed again by those same means, since he has 
 been convicted doing all things for himself. Now indeed, 
 O 1 Athenians, affairs are with Philip at this point of time, 
 either let some one advancing, show to me, (but rather to 
 you,) either that I do not speak these things true, or that they 
 having been deceived at first will believe him as to the rest, 
 or as the Thessalians having been subjected contrary to 
 their merit, would not become willingly free. 
 
 4. And indeed if any one of you really thinks these to be so, 
 but supposes him to retain by force his affairs, by possessing 
 himself beforehand of fortresses and ports, and such like places, 
 he does not think wisely. For indeed when affairs are 
 regulated by benevolence, and when the same things con- 
 tribute to all those participating in the war, men wish also to 
 labor together, and to support reverses, and to remain 
 faithful; but when any one is strong, as this man, by 
 covetousness and wickedness, the first occasion, and a slight 
 shock, reverses and discomfits all affairs. For it is not 
 possible — it is not possible, O ! Athenians — that a man 
 acting unjustly, and being perjured, and telling falsehoods,

 shall possess a durable force : but such things endure indeed 
 for a time, and for a short time, and flourish very much 
 according to hopes, if it happen, but with time they are 
 surprised, and fall into ruin of themselves. For I think, as 
 it behoves these things in the lower part of a house, and of a 
 ship, and of other such things, to be very strong, so it is 
 proper also for the principles and foundations of actions to 
 be true and just. But now this is not in those things done 
 by Philip. 
 
 Now I say that it behoves you at once, indeed, to assist 
 the Olynthians, and it pleases me thus how any one speaks 
 illustriously and promptly ! and to send to the Thessalians a 
 deputation which shall make known these things to them, 
 and shall animate them. For they too have now resolved to 
 re-demand Pagasse, and to make speeches about Magnesia. 
 Nevertheless, observe, O ! Athenians, so that the deputies 
 from us shall not only utter speeches, but shall even have to 
 show some action, we having gone out against the enemy 
 in a manner worthy of the city, and of those being employed 
 in our affairs : as indeed every speech, if our actions are 
 wanting, appears something vain and empty, but especially 
 the message from our city. For all distrust it by how 
 much more we seem to make use of it most promptly. But 
 you must show a considerable change, and a great altera- 
 tion, contributing means, and going out against the enemy, 
 doing all things promptly, if indeed any one shall apply the 
 mind to you — (i. e., if you wish anyone to give heed to you.) 
 And if you wish to end these affairs as it is proper, and it 
 behoves you, not only, O ! Athenians, the allies will appear 
 being weak and faithless to Philip, but even the affairs of 
 his own realm, and of his own power shall be found being 
 in a bad state.

 by part of an addition, indeed, is some power, not 
 small as it was once to you, under Timotheus against the 
 Olynthians : yet, again this, a power united vnth them, 
 seemed to be something to the Olynthians against Potidsea : 
 but now it has assisted the Thessalians, discordant and 
 agitated by factions and harassed against the tyrannical 
 family ; and I think all things profit where any one adds 
 power though small : but this state by itself is weak, and 
 full of many evils. For even he (Philip) by all these 
 things by which any one might think him great, by wars, 
 and expeditions has rendered it for himself yet weaker 
 than it was by nature. 
 
 6. For, do not think, O Athenians, that both Philip and 
 his subjects rejoice in the same things; but he, indeed, 
 desires glory, and seeks it, and is determined, agitating 
 and exposing himself to danger, to suffer, if any thing 
 reverse happen, preferring the glory of having accomplished 
 those things which no other king of the Macedonians has 
 ever done, instead of living securely : but indeed, there is not 
 to them any of that ambition for these things ; but always 
 tormented by those expeditions, on this side and on that, 
 they grieve and are constantly unfortunate, suffered to 
 remain neither at their toils, nor at their own affairs ; nor 
 being able to arrange these which they have acquired, so 
 as they may be able, the markets in the country having 
 been closed on account of war. 
 
 .7. Then, indeed, some one might observe not difficultly from 
 these, how the most of the Macedonians are in feeling towards 
 Philip ; and certainly the foreigners and select infantry being 
 about him, have indeed a fame that they are admirable and 
 well exercised in the things of war; but as I have heard

 from some one of those men born in that country, a man 
 capable in no way to falsify, they are not better than any 
 others. For indeed, if there is any man such among them 
 experienced in war and battles, he declared to me that 
 he expels all those indeed from jealousy, wishing all his 
 works to appear to be his own, for said lie to me, again 
 besides these other affairs that also the jealousy of the man 
 is excessive, but if any one modest or otherwise just, not 
 able to bear the intemperance of his life every day and his 
 drunkenness and buffooneries, — that such a man is despised, 
 and is in the part of nothing; (i. e., regarded as nothing,) 
 thus, said he, that robbers and flatterers and such like men 
 being drunk do perform such dances as .1 now dread to name 
 before you, are remaining about him. Now it is evident 
 that these things are true, for also he loves and has about 
 himself those whom all have driven hence as being much 
 more wicked than the doers of wonders — that man Callias, 
 the public slave, and such men, imitators of buffoons and 
 makers of shameful songs which they make against men, 
 being with them for the sake of being laughed at. 
 
 8. And, indeed, these things if even any one think them 
 little, are O ! Athenians to men thinking wisely great proofs 
 of the character and of the evil genius of him, Philip. 
 But I think his succeeding now indeed obscures these, for 
 these successes are powerful to conceal, and to obscure such 
 dishonors ; but if any thing should check, then all these 
 infamies of him shall be disclosed accurately. And he seems 
 to me, O ! Athenians, to show z£ in no longtime, if even the gods 
 will it, and you resolve it. For as in our bodies indeed, whilst 
 any one is strong, he perceives nothing of each one of the 
 parts affected, but when any infirmity happens, all the parts 
 are moved, even if it is a fracture, and if it is a dislocation, 
 even if any other thing of the parts existing be affected,

 thus these evils both of the cities and of tyrants indeed, 
 whilst they make war abroad are invisible to the many, but 
 when a neighbouring war is engaged in, it renders all these 
 tilings visible. 
 
 9. But if any one of you 5 G ! Athenians ! seeing Philip 
 prospering by that think it formidable to make war against 
 him, he, indeed, uses the reasoning of a wise man, for 
 fortune is a great w 7 eight, but rather it is every thing in all 
 affairs of men. But not indeed I, at least, if any one should 
 give me the choice, would choose the fortune of our city 
 (yourselves being willing to do what things it behoves even 
 in a small measure) than the fortune of him : for I see very 
 many occasions for having good will from the gods, existing 
 to you rather than to him, but I think we sit down doing 
 nothing : and it is not "permitted that the one being idle 
 shall not again order his friends to do something for him ; 
 certainly not the gods to do something/or him. Truly, it is 
 not astonishing, if he, Philip himself making war and 
 laboring, and present at all affairs, and passing by no 
 oceasion nor season, is superior to you, delaying and decree- 
 ing, and inquiring. Indeed I do not wonder at this : for the 
 contrary would be astonishing if we doing nothing of what 
 things it behoves those making war, we would be superior 
 to him doing the things which it behoves him. But I 
 wonder at this, if, O ! Athenians, you had indeed declared 
 war against the Lacedaemonians for the just rights of the 
 Greeks : and the power being given to you several times to 
 acquire much for yourselves, you did not wish it, but paying 
 contributions you defrayed your own expenses, and warring, 
 you endangered yourselves, so that the others might obtain 
 their rights : but now you hesitate to go forth, and you delay to 
 contribute for your own possessions: and indeed you have often

 saved all others, and during each year in part [i. e., alter- 
 nately,] but you have sat down having lost your own. 1 
 wonder at this, and yet in addition to this, if not one of you 
 O ! Athenians, is able to calculate how long time you war 
 against Philip, and you doing what, all that time passed 
 away ; for certainly you know this, that the whole time has 
 passed by, you delaying and hoping that some other men 
 will act, accusing one another, impeaching, hoping again, 
 doing nearly the same things which you do now. 
 
 10. Then you are placed thus unreasonably, O ! Athenians, 
 so that you hope these affairs to become good from being 
 bad through these same actions, by which the affairs of the 
 city have become bad from good. But this at least is 
 neither reasonable nor having nature [i. e. in nature,] for 
 it is natural that those having should guard much more 
 easily, than acquire all things. But now nothing of those 
 formerly which indeed we preserved, is left by the war, but 
 it behoves to acquire. Then this work is now of your- 
 selves. 
 
 11. Now I say that it is proper to contribute money, to go 
 out yourselves eagerly to fight^ to accuse no one before that 
 you have recovered your affairs : and then that you judging 
 by the same actions, should honor indeed the men worthy 
 of praise and punish those acting unjustly, and remove 
 pretences and faults against yourselves. For it is not proper 
 to search bitterly what has been done by others, if the things 
 necessary do not exist at first from yourselves. For 
 on account of something, O ! Athenians, you think all 
 the generals whom you have sent, indeed, to shun

 this war, but that they find wars in private (if it is necessary 
 to speak anything of those things existing and about the 
 generals) that there, on one hand, the rewards for which the 
 war is, are yours (if Amphipolis be taken, you will obtain 
 that immediately) and the dangers are the special ones of 
 the generals, but the reward is not: but there the dangers 
 indeed are less, and the emoluments of the chiefs and of the 
 soldiers are Lampsacus and Sigeum, and the ships which 
 they take. Thus they severally march towards the profitable 
 to them, and you, when indeed you look to affairs in a bad 
 state, criminate the chiefs : but when having given them word, 
 (i. e., liberty to make their defence) you hear their necessi- 
 ties, you acquit them. Therefore it remains to us to provoke 
 one another, and to differ; some, indeed, persuaded of these 
 and some of those, and the public affairs are in a bad 
 state. 
 
 12. For formerly, indeed, O ! Athenians, you contributed 
 in classes, but now you govern by classes : an orator is a 
 chief of either, and a general and three hundred are under 
 him : and you, the others are arranged, some indeed for 
 these and some for those. Now it behoves you renouncing 
 these affairs and becoming masters of yourselves, even now 
 to do what is common and to speak, and to deliberate, and 
 to act. But if you give to some indeed to command you 
 as by a tyrant, and others to be forced to equip vessels, to 
 contribute, to carry arms, and some only to decree against 
 the latter, but to labor for nothing else : any of these things 
 being necessary, will not be done for you in time : for 
 always the party suffering injustice will want, then it will 
 remain to you to punish these instead of your enemies.

 according to what each one has, that all go out against the 
 enemy successively, until you have all served ; that you 
 give liberty of speech to all presenting themselves, and choose 
 the best things which you may hear, not those which this 
 one or that one may say, and if you do these things not 
 only will you immediately praise the one speaking, but even 
 afterwards yourselves, all affairs being to you better by

 Subject of the Discourse. — The measures proposed by Demosthenes 
 had been partially adopted, and put in execution. Two thousand 
 men, under the command of Chares, had made a descent in Mace- 
 donia, and defeated a body of eight hundred men, attached to the 
 service of Philip, engaged himself before Olynthus, which he was 
 pressing closely. An advantage so slight, raised the presumption 
 natural to the Athenians ; and, in their foolish joy, they thought that 
 nothing more remained to them than to dictate to the king of Ma- 
 cedonia conditions of peace. The orator, in reducing to its just value 
 the success obtained by Chares, from thence undertakes to engage 
 his fellow-citizens to pursue the war with ardor, and to oppose more 
 ardently than they had yet done, the abuses which had crept into 
 several parts of the administration, and especially in the law relative 
 to the distributions of the theater.

 ORATION III. 
 
 An abrupt Exordium. The speeches made by the most of 
 the orators, are not at all in relation with events ; they speak 
 as conquerors, when they ought to think of the means of con- 
 quering. 
 
 1. It is not presented to me to think the same things O ! 
 Athenians, both when I look to our affairs, and when I look 
 to the speeches which I hear : for on one- hand I see those 
 speeches made about punishing Philip, and I see affairs 
 advanced to that point, so that it is necessary to examine 
 how we shall not ourselves suffer badly first. Then those 
 men, speaking such things appear to me nothing else than to 
 miss the subject about which you consult, not presenting to 
 you the subject being (i. e., as it is.) But I know also very 
 exactly, that indeed, formerly, it was permitted to the State 
 both to have possessions of itself securely, and to punish 
 Philip : for under me, (i. e., in my time,) not long ago, both 
 these things happened. Then I am now persuaded that 
 this thing is sufficient for us to anticipate, first, how we 
 shall save the allies : for if this thing is found solidly 
 then it will be permitted to examine also about that accord- 
 ing to what manner any one will punish him : but before 
 establishing correctly the beginning, I regard as useless to 
 make any discourse whatever about the end.

 2. Now, indeed, O ! Athenians, the present time, if ever, 
 needs also now much reflection and deliberation. But I do 
 not think it the most difficult what it behoves to consult 
 about present affairs, but I am perplexed in this, O ! Athen- 
 ians, as to what manner it behoves me to speak to you about 
 them. For I am persuaded, from tJiese things which I being 
 present and hearing do know, that the most of affairs have 
 escaped you in your not wishing to do the things necessary, 
 not from ignorance. And I ask you, if I make a speech 
 with frankness that you suffer it, considering this, if I speak 
 the truth, I speak it also because of this that the rest may 
 become better. For look you how from this that each one 
 harangues the people for favor, present affairs have advanced 
 to every point of misfortune. But I think it necessary to 
 re-call first to you a few of those things having happened. 
 
 Exposition. — First part. It is necessary to redouble 
 our efforts to assist Olynthus, and keep up the struggle en- 
 gaged in against Philip. 
 
 3. Remember, O ! Athenians, when Philip was announced 
 to you in Thrace, this third or fourth year, besieging the 
 Herean fort; now then, indeed, it was the month of Decem- 
 ber. But many speeches and some trouble occurring among 
 you, you resolved to launch forty triremes, and that the 
 citizens even to forty and five years should embark in them, 
 and contribute sixty talents, and after these things, this year 
 being past, September, October, November poised. In this 
 month immediately after the mysteries of Ceres, you sent 
 Charydemus having ten empty vessels and five talents of 
 silver. For when Philip was announced as sick and dead, 
 (for both news came) thinking that no time of assisting existed 
 any more, you gave up, O ! Athenians, the whole arma- 
 ment. But this was the favor-able time itself: for if then we

 had assisted there, (i. e., at Herea,) as we had resolved 
 eagerly, Philip restored to health then, would not trouble 
 us now. Now indeed, affairs done then would not be 
 otherwise, but now the occasion of another war comes. 
 What ivarl This, on account of which also I made men- 
 tion about these things, that you might not suffer the same. 
 Now in what, O ! Athenians, shall we profit by this occa- 
 sion ? For if you do not assist with all your might, 
 according to your ability, consider in what manner you 
 shall have commanded all things for Philip. 
 
 4. The Olynthians were found having acquired a certain 
 power, and their affairs were so established, neither Philip 
 had courage to attack them nor had they courage to attach 
 Philip. We and they made peace between ourselves, this 
 thing was as a certain obstacle and troublesome to Philip, 
 that a large city reconciled to us should watch his oppor- 
 tunities. We thought that it behoved to stir up against 
 Philip men in every way, and this thing which all published 
 previously, is done now in any way. Then, O ! Athenians, 
 what thing is remaining to do, but to succor vigorously and 
 eagerly. I indeed do not see. For apart from the shame 
 surrounding us, if we cowardly neglect anything of affairs, 
 I see, O ! Athenians, the fear of affairs after these things 
 not a little : the Thebans, indeed, being to us, as they are, 
 but the Phoecians wanting funds, and nothing being an 
 obstacle to Philip, having subjected the present affairs, at 
 Olynthus, to turn towards these affairs respecting ourselves. 
 But yet, if any one of you put off, in this to do necessary 
 affairs, and desires to look closely into our misfortunes, it 
 being in his power to hear things happening elsewhere: 
 and desires to seek help for himself, it being in his power 
 now himself to succor others. For indeed we almost all, 
 certainly know that affairs will be brought to this, if we 
 abandon the present.

 Second Part. TJie way to succeed is to do away certain 
 laws hurtful to the state, among others, that ivhich concerns 
 the distributions of the theater. 
 
 5. But some one may say that we all determined that 
 indeed it certainly behoves to assist, and we will assist : but 
 say this, the how. Then, O ! Athenians, do not wonder if 
 I say something contrary in opinion to all. Do ye appoint 
 Legislators, but do not place any one law in those Legisla- . 
 tures (for the laws are sufficient to you) but abrogate those 
 injuring you for the present. But I mention, thus openly, 
 the laws concerning things which have relation to plays, 
 and some laws about things concerning soldiers, of which 
 some indeed distribute military rewards to the citizens 
 remaining at home, and others leave uncondemned those 
 quitting the ranks, then also they make those the more dis- 
 couraged willing to do what is necessary. 
 
 6. But when you have abolished these laws and shall 
 have rendered sure the way of speaking the best things, 
 then seek out the one having proposed what you all know, 
 that they are useful. But before having done these things, 
 do not consider that any one having spoken the best things 
 for you will be willing to be destroyed by you, for you shall 
 not find one ; and otherwise also this thing alone about to 
 remain namely, that the citizen having uttered and proposed 
 these things, suffers unjustly some evil, but that it perfects 
 affairs in nothing, but even renders for the future the saying 
 the best things more dangerous, even more than now. And 
 surely, O ! Athenians, it behoves to ask these same men to 
 abolish the laws, which they have also established. For it 
 is not just, indeed, that a favor which has injured all the 
 city should be to those having established these laws then, but 
 that the hatred by which we would all act better, become a loss 
 to the one uttering now the best things. But before that you 
 prepare these things, by no means, think, O ! Athenians, 
 that no one is so great among you as having transgressed

 the laws not to suffer punishment, nor so senseless as to cast 
 himself into an evident evil. 
 
 It does not surely become you, O ! Athenians, to be 
 ignorant of this, that a decree is worthy of nothing, if this, 
 its becoming us to be willing to do ardently those things 
 appearing proper, be not added. For if the decrees were 
 sufficient either to force you to do what it behoves you, or 
 to perform those about which decrees are made, you would 
 not, decreeing many things, perform few, but rather none of 
 these, nor would Philip insult you during so long a time : 
 for long ago he would have suffered punishment certainly 
 on account of these decrees. But these affairs are not so. 
 For the performing being in the order after speaking and 
 voting, is the first in force, and more powerful. Then it 
 behoves you to apply this, and the other things are present to 
 you, (i. e., you possess the rest. For also there are with 
 you, O ! Athenians, those citizens able to speak things 
 becoming : and you are the sharpest of all to know things 
 spoken, and you certainly will be able now to perform 
 them, if you act rightly. 
 
 8. For what time or what occasion better than the present 
 do you seek, O ! Athenians ? or when will ye do those 
 things which it behoves you to do, if not now? Has not 
 this man already seized, indeed, all your strong places? 
 and if he become master also of this country, we shall 
 experience the most shameful things of all. Those whom we 
 zealously promise to save, if they should fight, are they not 
 now attacked, is he (Philip) not our enemy ? not having 
 your possessions ? not a barbarian ? not whatever any one 
 may say ? But by the gods having left all these things, and 
 almost having prepared them together with him, we will 
 seek then all those authors who are the cause of these evils ?

 Third Motive. — It is unworthy a people such as ilie 
 Athenians not to consent to endure some sacrifices in order 
 to procure the money which a war so important and neces- 
 sary requires.

 For we will not say that we are ourselves at least authors 
 of these evils, I know this thing clearly, for neither in dangers 
 of war does any one of those fleeing accuse himself but he 
 accuses also the general, and his companions, and rather he 
 accuses all : but they have been conquered, notwithstanding 
 indeed., through all these having fled, for it is permitted to the 
 accuser of others to remain, and if each did this they would 
 conquer. 
 
 9. And now does some one not speak the best things? 
 let another having risen up, speak, and let him not blame 
 that man. Does any other speak things better? Do these 
 things with good fortune. But these things are not agreeable ; 
 the one saying this acts no more unjustly, except if it being 
 necessary to pray, he omits it. For indeed, O ! Athenians, it 
 is easy to pray, collecting in a short time in the same dis- 
 course, all things which any one wishes : but to choose when 
 it is proposed to examine about affairs is no longer equally 
 easy, but it behoves to lay hold of the best things instead 
 of agreeable things,'^ it is not permitted to get both. 
 
 But if any one have power to leave to us the theatrical 
 funds, and to mention other military revenues, would he not 
 be the better one to attend to? would any one say itl I 
 indeed would say it, O ! Athenians, if the thing is possible. 
 ButI wonder if either it has happened or will ever happen to 
 any one of men to abound in things absent for the things 
 which it behoves him 1o have, if he have squandered away 
 present property for what does not behove him to have. But 
 I think the will of each one is a great matter in such speeches : 
 therefore, it is the easiest thing of all to deceive oneself: for 
 each one thinks also this which he desires. But affairs often 
 happen naturally not so. 
 
 10. Then, O! Athenians, look to these things so as

 also your affairs permit ; and you will be able to go 
 forth, and you will have your pay. Not indeed is it a 
 thing of wise men, nor of noble men, neglecting anything 
 of war on account of the want of funds, to support easily 
 such insults, nor to march on the one hand against the 
 Corinthians and Megareans having taken up arms, and to 
 suffer Philip to enslave the Grecian cities through the want 
 of provisions for those engaged in war. 
 
 11. And, I have not undertaken to speak lightly that I 
 may become hateful to some of you, (for I am one not so 
 insensible nor so unfortunate as to wish to be hated, thinking 
 to be useful in nothing) but I judge of a just citizen 
 to prefer the safety of affairs instead of the favor in speaking. 
 For also I hear equally as you also, that those speaking 
 under our ancestors, (whom all those present, praise indeed, 
 but do not imitate at all) use this mode and this custom of 
 administration ; Aristides himself, Nicias, the one of the 
 same name with myself, and Pericles. But from what time 
 those orators have appeared interrogating you, what do you 
 wish? What shall I propose? in what shall I gratify you? 
 The affairs of the state have been delivered up for pleasure, 
 a little while, and for favor, and such things happen : the 
 affairs of these people are all well, but yours are in a state 
 of disgrace. Now, consider, O ! Athenians, these things which 
 any one might be able to speak briefly, both of the actions 
 under our ancestors and those under us. But the speech 
 will be brief and known to you. For it is permitted you, O ! 
 Athenians, to become prosperous, making use of examples not 
 foreign, but home ones. Therefore they whom those speaking

 did not flatter, loved them not as those now love you, 
 commanded indeed the willing Greeks, during sixty and 
 five years, but gathered into the Acropolis, more than 
 ten thousand talents : and the king having that country 
 Macedonia obeyed them as it is fitting that a barbarian obey 
 the Greeks : and bearing arms themselves they erected 
 trophies many and beautiful both on foot and fighting in 
 vessels; and alone of men left the glory by actions more 
 powerful than those envying. Now, indeed, they were such 
 in Greek affairs; and in those in the city itself, consider 
 what they were both in public and in private affairs. On 
 one hand, then they have established publicly for us, build- 
 ings and such beauties of temples, and offerings in them, so 
 that superiority has been left to no one of men existing : but, 
 in private, they were so wise and remaining much in the 
 mode of government, that if any one of you really ever saw 
 the house of Aristides, and that of Miltiades, and of those 
 citizens then illustrious what sort it is ; he sees it being 
 more remarkable in nothing than the house of the neighbor, 
 for the affairs of the city were done by them not for 
 abundance, but each thought that it behoved to improve the 
 common stock. But from managing, on one hand, the 
 Greek affairs faithfully, and the affairs towards the Gods 
 piously, and those among themselves equally they have 
 acquired justly great honor. 
 
 12. Then, indeed, affairs were in this manner to those 
 making use of their chiefs whom I mentioned : but now how 
 are affairs with you under those honorable citizens at present? 
 Are they similarly affected and nearly so? And, indeed, I pass by 
 other things in silence,having many to say, but enjoying tran- 
 quillity so great as you all see, and on one hand the Lacedae- 
 monians indeed being lost, but the Thebans being engaged, and 
 no one of the others being so powerful to oppose us about the 
 pre-eminence, but it being in our power also to have securely

 Fourth Motive. — The cause of a situation so deplorable

 those affairs of ourselves, and to regulate the rights of others, 
 we have been deprived indeed of our own country, and we 
 have expended on nothing necessary more than a thousand 
 and five hundred talents; and those whom we have acquired 
 as allies in the war have perished, it being peace, and we 
 have made an enemy so great against ourselves ; or let some 
 one having come forward, tell me, whence elsewhere than 
 from ourselves, has Philip become powerful ? But, O ! my 
 friend, if these things, are badly, (i. e., in a bad state,) 
 those at least in the city itself are now better. And what 
 can any one have to say ? that these are the city walls 
 which we make common, and the roads which we repair, and 
 the fountains, and such trifles I Now, look to those managing 
 such affairs, which some have become rich from being 
 poor, and some have become illustrious from being obscure ; 
 and some have built their private houses more remarkable 
 than the public edifices. But the possessions of these people 
 have increased by so much as those of the republic have 
 become less. 
 
 12. Now what is the cause of these evils ? and why once 
 were all our affairs so fair, and now do not go on well ? 
 Because, indeed, formerly even the people daring to make 
 war themselves were masters of those governing, and them- 
 selves the stewards of all good tilings, and it was agreeable 
 to each of the other ministers to receive from the people 
 both honor, and dignity, and some advantage : but now, on 
 the contrary, indeed, those governing are the masters of 
 good things, and all affairs are done by them : but you, 
 the people, having been weakend and deprived of your 
 wealth, and allies, have come into the place of a slave, and 
 of an accessory, loving if these may give you some of 
 the theater funds, or send pieces of beef; and the most 
 unmanly thing of all, you show gratitude for your own 
 affairs : but those having shut you up in the city itself,

 drag you towards those things, and tame you, making you 
 tractable to themselves. But it is in no way 'possible, I think, 
 that men doing small affairs and despicable, should conceive 
 a noble and elevated thought : for it is necessary to have 
 also such a thought, such as the tastes of men are. By 
 Ceres ! I should not wonder at these things, if there should 
 come from you to me a greater evil, having spoken these 
 things, than these prepared to happen, for the liberty about 
 all affairs is not always with you ; but I wonder that it has 
 happened even now. 
 
 13. But then if at least now, still being delivered from this 
 condition, you both wish to war, and to act worthily of your- 
 selves, and if you make use of those resources at home as 
 means for good abroad, likely, O ! Athenians, likely you 
 would acquire some perfect and great good, and you would 
 be delivered from such presents which resemble aliments 
 given to the sick by doctors ; for even these neither give 
 force, nor permit the sick to die : and those things which 
 now you distribute are neither such as to have any suffi- 
 cient utility, nor do they permit you renouncing them to do 
 any other thing; but these are increasing the idleness of 
 each of you. 
 
 14. Then dost thou propose pay? some one will say; 
 and I propose, indeed, immediately the same order of all, 
 O ! Athenians, that each receiving a portion of the public 
 funds may promptly present himself useful for this thing of 
 which the state has need. Is it permitted to enjoy repose ? 
 remaining at home, thou art better, being delivered from 
 doing by necessity, any thing shameful through want. 
 What such thing, as also these, now happens ? being thyself 
 a soldier for thy country, as it is just, from these same

 presents. Who of us is beyond the age 1 Let the one inspect- 
 ing and judging what it behoves to be done, receive, in 
 equal order, that which he receiving now out of order, avails 
 not. And upon the whole, neither having retrenched nor 
 having added, except small afFairs,expelling disorder, I would 
 bring back the city into order, having made the same order 
 for recovering, for making wars, for judging, for doing that 
 which each one has to do. t according to age, and of which 
 there might be an occasion. 
 
 14. It is not any where (i. e., possible), I said, that it behoves 
 to divide the things of those having acted with those doing 
 nothing : nor does it behove yourselves, indeed, to be inactive, 
 and to be idle, and to be irresolute ; but to inform yourselves 
 of this, that the foreign soldiers of a certain general are 
 victorious. For these things happen now, and I do not 
 blame the one doing for you any of those things necessary, 
 but I judge yourselves to do for yourselves those things, for 
 which you honor others, and not to abandon, O ! Athenians, 
 the post of valor which your ancestors have left to you, 
 having acquired it with numerous dangers both beautiful and 
 grand : I have nearly said what I think will avail ; but may 
 you choose what is about to be useful both to the state and 
 to you all !
