ὁρῶντες ἠτυχηκυῖαν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τῆς παρόδου κρατοῦντας Λακεδαιμονίους, οὐχὶ προὔδωκαν οὐδ᾽ ἐβουλεύσαντ᾽ ἰδίᾳ περὶ τῆς αὑτῶν σωτηρίας, ἀλλὰ πλησίον ὄντων μεθ᾽ ὅπλων ἁπάντων Πελοποννησίων ἀνέῳξαν τὰς πύλας ὑμῖν βίᾳ τῶν πολλῶν, καὶ μᾶλλον εἵλοντο μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν τῶν τότε στρατευσαμένων, εἴ τι δέοι, πάσχειν ἢ χωρὶς ὑμῶν ἀκινδύνως σεσῶσθαι, καὶ εἰσέφρουν τὸ στράτευμα, καὶ διέσωσαν καὶ ὑμᾶς καὶ τοὺς συμμάχους.
