[64]
εἰσφέρειν ἐκέλευον, οἱ δ᾽ οὐδὲν δεῖν ἔφασαν: πολεμεῖν καὶ μὴ πιστεύειν, οἱ δ᾽ ἄγειν εἰρήνην, ἕως ἐγκατελήφθησαν. τἄλλα τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον οἶμαι πάνθ᾽, ἵνα μὴ καθ᾽ ἕκαστα λέγω: οἱ μὲν ἐφ᾽ οἷς χαριοῦνται, ταῦτ᾽ ἔλεγον, οἱ δ᾽ ἐξ ὧν ἔμελλον σωθήσεσθαι. πολλὰ δὲ καὶ τὰ τελευταῖα οὐχ οὕτως πρὸς χάριν οὐδὲ δι᾽ ἄγνοιαν οἱ πολλοὶ προσίεντο, ἀλλ᾽ ὑποκατακλινόμενοι, ἐπειδὴ τοῖς ὅλοις ἡττᾶσθαι ἐνόμιζον.
