[42]
τοὺς μὲν οὖν παλαιοὺς ἀγῶνας τοὺς ὑπὲρ τῶν Ἑλλήνων γεγενημένους ὕστερον ἐροῦμεν, νῦν δὲ ποιήσομαι περὶ ἐκείνων τοὺς λόγους ἀρξάμενος, ἐπειδὴ κατέσχον τὰς πόλεις τὰς Ἀχαιίδας καὶ πρὸς Ἀργείους καὶ Μεσσηνίους διείλοντο τὴν χώραν· ἐντεῦθεν γὰρ προσήκει διαλέγεσθαι περὶ αὐτῶν.

οἱ μὲν τοίνυν ἡμέτεροι πρόγονοι φανήσονται τήν τε πρὸς τοὺς Ἕλληνας ὁμόνοιαν καὶ τὴν πρὸς τοὺς βαρβάρους ἔχθραν, ἣν παρέλαβον ἐκ τῶν Τρωικῶν, διαφυλάττοντες καὶ μένοντες ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῖς.

[42] Of the ancient struggles which they have undergone in behalf of the Hellenes, I shall speak hereafter.¹ Now, however, I shall begin with the time when the Lacedaemonians conquered the cities of Achaea ² and divided their territory with the Argives and the Messenians; for it is fitting to begin discussing them at this point. Now our ancestors will be seen to have preserved without ceasing the spirit of concord towards the Hellenes and of hatred towards the barbarians which they inherited from the Trojan War and to have remained steadfast in this policy.
