Ἀθηναίων ἐπαινῶν, ἵνα κακῶς εἴπῃ τοὺς ἄλλους ἅπαντας. τί γὰρ ἄν τις ἔνι δυσχεραίνοι, Θηβαίους ἀεὶ καὶ Φωκέας πικρῶς αὐτοῦ καὶ κατακόρως ἐξονειδίζοντος,
ὅπου καὶ τῶν προκινδυνευσάντων ὑπὲρ τῆς Ἑλλάδος τὴν οὐ γεγενημένην μὲν, γενομένην
δ᾽ ἄν, ὡς αὐτὸς εἰκάζει, καταψηφίζεται προδοσίαν; αὐτοὺς δὲ Λακεδαιμονίους ἐν ἀδήλῳ θέμενος ἐπηπόρησεν,
εἴτ᾽ ἔπεσον ἂν μαχόμενοι τοῖς πολεμίοις
εἴτε παρέδωκαν ἑαυτούς, μικροῖς γε νὴ Δία τεκμηρίοις αὐτῶν ἀπιστήσας τοῖς περὶ Θερμοπύλας
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1893. 5.
