οὕτως ἔμοιγε δοκεῖ, ᾗπερ ῥᾷστον, ταύτῃ καὶ ἄριστον εἶναι ταῦτα πράττειν. εἰ δ᾽ αὖ διὰ τὰς ἐν τῷ νῦν πολέμῳ γεγενημένας εἰσφορὰς νομίζετ᾽ ἂν μηδ᾽ ὁτιοῦν δύνασθαι εἰσενεγκεῖν, ὑμεῖς δὴ ὅσα μὲν πρὸ τῆς εἰρήνης χρήματα ηὕρισκε τὰ τέλη, ἀπὸ τοσούτων καὶ τὸ ἐπιὸν ἔτος διοικεῖτε τὴν πόλιν, ὅσα δ᾽ ἂν ἐφευρίσκῃ διὰ τὸ εἰρήνην τε εἶναι καὶ διὰ τὸ θεραπεύεσθαι μετοίκους καὶ ἐμπόρους καὶ διὰ τὸ πλειόνων ἀνθρώπων πλείω εἰσάγεσθαι καὶ ἐξάγεσθαι καὶ διὰ τὸ τὰ ἐλλιμένια καὶ τὰς ἀγορὰς αὐξάνεσθαι, ταῦτα λαμβάνοντες κατασκευάζεσθε ὡς ἂν πλεῖσται αἱ πρόσοδοι γίγνοιντο.
