καὶ πάντων ἥκιστα （καί μοι μὴ θορυβήσῃ μηδεὶς πρὶν ἀκοῦσαι） Θηβαίους, οὐχ ὡς ἡδέως ἔχουσιν ἡμῖν, οὐδ᾽ ὡς οὐκ ἂν χαρίζοιντο Φιλίππῳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἴσασιν ἀκριβῶς, εἰ καὶ πάνυ φησί τις αὐτοὺς ἀναισθήτους εἶναι, ὅτι, εἰ γενήσεται πόλεμος πρὸς ὑμᾶς αὐτοῖς, τὰ μὲν κακὰ πάνθ᾽ ἕξουσιν αὐτοί, τοῖς δ᾽ ἀγαθοῖς ἐφεδρεύων ἕτερος καθεδεῖται. οὔκουν προοῖντ᾽ ἂν αὑτοὺς εἰς τοῦτο, μὴ κοινῆς τῆς ἀρχῆς καὶ τῆς αἰτίας οὔσης τοῦ πολέμου.
