τοιαῦτα δὲ καὶ περὶ τῆς εἰσπράξεως τῶν φόρων ἤν τι λέγωσιν, ἕξομεν εἰπεῖν· πολὺ γὰρ ἐπιδείξομεν συμφορώτερα πράξαντας τοὺς ἡμετέρους ἢ Λακεδαιμονίους ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς τὸν φόρον ἐνεγκούσαις. πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ οὐ προσταχθὲν ὑφʼ ἡμῶν τοῦτʼ ἐποίουν, ἀλλʼ αὐτοὶ γνόντες, ὅτε περ τὴν ἡγεμονίαν ἡμῖν τὴν κατὰ θάλατταν ἔδοσαν·

[67] And if they make any complaint about our collection of the tribute, we shall be ready with a like rejoinder. For we shall show that our ancestors far more than the Lacedaemonians acted for the advantage of the states which paid them tribute. For, in the first place, these states did this, not because we had so commanded, but because they themselves had so resolved at the very time when they conferred upon us the supremacy by sea.
