εἰ μὲν οὖν μὴ Θηβαίους ἑωρῶμεν ἐκ παντὸς τρόπου παρεσκευασμένους πείθειν ὑμᾶς,1 ὡς οὐδὲν εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐξημαρτήκασι, διὰ βραχέων ἂν ἐποιησάμεθα τοὺς λόγους: ἐπειδὴ δ᾽ εἰς τοῦθ᾽ ἥκομεν ἀτυχίας ὥστε μὴ μόνον ἡμῖν εἶναι τὸν ἀγῶνα πρὸς τούτους, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ῥητόρων πρὸς τοὺς δυνατωτάτους, οὓς ἀπὸ τῶν ἡμετέρων αὑτοῖς οὗτοι παρεσκευάσαντο συνηγόρους, ἀναγκαῖον διὰ μακροτέρων δηλῶσαι περὶ αὐτῶν.
