[39] κρατηθέντες δὲ τῷ πολέμῳ τά τε ἄλλα¹ ἀπωλέσαμεν, καὶ τὰ τείχη καὶ τὰς ναῦς ἔλαβον ἡμῶν ἐνέχυρα Λακεδαιμόνιοι, τὰς² μὲν παραλαβόντες, τὰ δὲ καθελόντες, ὅπως μὴ πάλιν ταύτην³ ἔχοντες ἀφορμὴν δύναμιν τῇ πόλει κατασκευάσαιμεν. πεισθέντες τοίνυν ὑφʼ ἡμῶν Λακεδαιμόνιοι πάρεισι νυνὶ πρέσβεις αὐτοκράτορες, τά τε ἐνέχυρα ἡμῖν ἀποδιδόντες, καὶ τὰ τείχη καὶ τὰς⁴ ναῦς ἐῶντες κεκτῆσθαι, τάς τε νήσους ἡμετέρας εἶναι.

[39] Then came defeat; and not only did we lose our empire: our walls and our fleet were also seized as securities by Sparta . The fleet she confiscated, and the walls she demolished, to prevent our using them as the foundations of a fresh Athenian dominion. Thanks to the efforts of us delegates, representatives have today come from Sparta with full powers, offering to restore those securities to us, to concede us our walls and our fleet, and to recognize the islands as ours.
