Φάβιος δὲ τὸ καθ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀσφαλὴς ὢν καὶ ἀναμάρτητος τῷ πρὸς τὸ κωλύειν ἑτέρους ἀδυνάτῳ φαίνεται λειπόμενος. οὐ γὰρ ἂν τοσαύταις συμφοραῖς ἐχρήσαντο Ῥωμαῖοι Φαβίου παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς ὅσον Ἀθήνησι Περικλέους δυνηθέντος.
καὶ μὴν τήν γε πρὸς χρήματα μεγαλοφροσύνην ὁ μὲν τῷ μηδὲν λαβεῖν παρὰ τῶν διδόντων, ὁ δὲ τῷ προέσθαι πολλὰ τοῖς δεομένοις ἐπεδείξατο, λυσάμενος τοῖς ἰδίοις χρήμασι τοὺς αἰχμαλώτους.
