ἀπερρίφη γὰρ οὐδὲν ἀδικῶν
αὐτός, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπηρέτῃ χαλεπήναντες ὀλίγας ἀποβαλόντι
ναῦς αἰσχρῶς, αἴσχιον αὐτοὶ τὸν κράτιστον καὶ
πολεμικώτατον ἀφείλοντο τῆς πόλεως στρατηγόν. ἔτι δ᾽
οὖν ὅμως ἐκ τῶν παρόντων ἀνέφερέ τις ἐλπὶς ἀμυδρὰ
μὴ παντάπασιν ἔρρειν τὰ πράγματα τῶν Ἀθηναίων
Ἀλκιβιάδου περιόντος: οὔτε γὰρ πρότερον ἠγάπησε
φεύγων ἀπραγμόνως ζῆν καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡσυχίας, οὔτε νῦν, εἰ
τὰ καθ᾽ ἑαυτὸν ἱκανῶς ἔχει, περιόψεται Λακεδαιμονίους
ὑβρίζοντας καὶ τοὺς τριάκοντα παροινοῦντας.
Plutarch. Plutarch's Lives. with an English Translation by. Bernadotte Perrin. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. London. William Heinemann Ltd. 1916. 4.
