ἐπηνώρθουν μὲν γὰρ τὸν λόγον τὸν μέχρι τῶν ἀναγνωσθέντων γεγραμμένον μετὰ μειρακίων τριῶν ἢ τεττάρων τῶν εἰθισμένων μοι συνδιατρίβειν· ἐπειδὴ δὲ διεξιοῦσιν ἡμῖν ἐδόκει καλῶς ἔχειν καὶ προσδεῖσθαι τελευτῆς μόνον, ἔδοξέ μοι μεταπέμψασθαί τινα τῶν ἐμοὶ μὲν πεπλησιακότων, ἐν ὀλιγαρχίᾳ δὲ πεπολιτευμένον, προῃρημένον δὲ Λακεδαιμονίους ἐπαινεῖν, ἵνʼ εἴ τι παρέλαθεν ἡμᾶς ψεῦδος εἰρημένον, ἐκεῖνος κατιδὼν δηλώσειεν ἡμῖν.

[200] After I had written out my discourse as far as what has been read, I was revising it with three or four youths who are wont to spend their time in my society. And when, on going over what I had written, it seemed to us to be good and to require only an ending, it occurred to me to send for one of those who had studied with me¹ but had lived under an oligarchy and had elected to extol the Lacedaemonians. I did this in order that, if any false statement had escaped me, he might detect it and point it out to me.
