[167]
τί οὖν ἐστὶ τὸ συμβεβηκὸς ἀγαθὸν ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου τοῦ περὶ τὰς ἀποικίας καὶ πραγματείας; τοῦτο γὰρ οἶμαι μάλιστα ποθεῖν ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς πολλούς. τοῖς μὲν Ἕλλησιν εὐπορωτέροις γενέσθαι τὰ περὶ τὸν βίον καὶ μᾶλλον ὁμονοεῖν τοσούτων τὸ πλῆθος καὶ τοιούτων ἀνθρώπων ἀπαλλαγεῖσι, τοῖς δὲ βαρβάροις ἐκπίπτειν ἐκ τῆς αὑτῶν καὶ φρονεῖν ἔλαττον ἢ πρότερον, τοῖς δʼ αἰτίοις τούτων γεγενημένοις εὐδοκιμεῖν καὶ δοκεῖν διπλασίαν πεποιηκέναι τὴν Ἑλλάδα τῆς ἐξ ἀρχῆς συστάσης.

[167] What, then, is the good which has resulted from the war which we waged and the trouble which we took in the colonization of the Hellenes? For this is, I think, a question which the majority would very much like to have answered. Well, the result was that the Hellenes found it easier to obtain subsistence and enjoyed a greater degree of concord after they had been relieved of so great a number of the class of people which I have described; that the barbarians were driven forth from their own territory and humbled in their pride; and that those who had brought these conditions to pass gained the fame and the name of having made Hellas twice as strong as she was of old.
