[176] ἔσται δʼ ὁ λόγος παράδοξος μὲν τοῖς πολλοῖς, ὁμοίως δʼ ἀληθὴς τοῖς ἄλλοις.
ἄρτι μὲν οὖν ἠπόρουν ποτέρων διεξίω πρότερον τοὺς κινδύνους καὶ τὰς μάχας, τὰς Σπαρτιατῶν ἢ τὰς τῶν ἡμετέρων· νῦν δὲ προαιροῦμαι λέγειν τὰς ἐκείνων, ἵνʼ ἐν ταῖς καλλίοσι καὶ δικαιοτέραις καταλύω τὸν λόγον τὸν περὶ τούτων.

[176] What I say on this topic will be counter to the opinions of the majority, but in equal degree it will appeal to the rest as the truth. A moment ago I was undecided whether I should first review the wars and battles of the Spartans or our own. Now, however, I elect to speak first of the perils and the battles of the Spartans, in order that I may close the discussion of this subject with struggles more honorable and more righteous.
