[76]
τί γὰρ ἐκεῖνος ἐνέλιπεν, ὃς τηλικαύτην μὲν ἔσχε τιμήν, ἧς εἰ πάντες συνελθόντες μείζω ζητοῖεν, οὐδέποτʼ ἂν εὑρεῖν δυνηθεῖεν; μόνος γὰρ ἁπάσης τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἠξιώθη γενέσθαι στρατηγός. ὁπότερον δέ, εἴθʼ ὑπὸ πάντων αἱρεθεὶς εἴτʼ αὐτὸς κτησάμενος, οὐκ ἔχω λέγειν. ὁποτέρως δʼ οὖν συμβέβηκεν, οὐδεμίαν ὑπερβολὴν λέλοιπε τῆς περὶ αὑτὸν δόξης τοῖς ἄλλως πως τιμηθεῖσιν.

Panathenaicus Perseus (IIsocrates, Vol 2. Norlin, George, translator. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1929 (printing).) — 76 focus

[76] For what element of glory did he lack who won a position of such exalted honor that, were all the world to unite on the search for a greater, no greater could be found? For he is the only man who was ever deemed worthy to be the leader of the armies of all Hellas . Whether he was elected by all or obtained this honor by himself, I am not able to say. But however this came about, he left no room for the rest of mankind who have in any wise won distinction since his time to surpass the glory which attaches to his name.
