[175] Although I have many noble things to tell of in the conduct of our ancestors, I am debating in my mind in what manner to present them. Indeed I am more concerned about this than about any other thing. For I come now to that part of my subject which I reserved for the last—that part in which I promised to show that our ancestors excelled the Spartans much more in their wars and battles than in all other respects.¹

[175]
ἔχων δὲ πολλὰς καὶ καλὰς πράξεις περὶ τῶν προγόνων εἰπεῖν, σκοποῦμαι τίνα τρόπον διαλεχθῶ περὶ αὐτῶν. μέλει γάρ μοι τούτων μᾶλλον ἢ τῶν ἄλλων· τυγχάνω γὰρ ὢν περὶ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ἣν ἐποιησάμην τελευταίαν, ἐν ᾗ προεῖπον ὡς ἐπιδείξω τοὺς προγόνους ἡμῶν ἐν τοῖς πολέμοις καὶ ταῖς μάχαις πλέον διενεγκόντας Σπαρτιατῶν ἢ τοῖς ἄλλοις ἅπασιν.
