[4] καὶ τότε ἡμῖν εἰρήνη ἐγένετο πρὸς Λακεδαιμονίους ἔτη πεντήκοντα,¹ καὶ ἐνεμείναμεν ἀμφότεροι ταύταις ταῖς σπονδαῖς ἔτη τριακαίδεκα. ἓν δὴ τοῦτο, ὦ Ἀθηναῖοι, πρῶτον σκεψώμεθα. ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ εἰρήνῃ ὁ δῆμος ὁ τῶν² Ἀθηναίων ἔσθʼ ὅπου κατελύθη; οὐδεὶς ἀποδείξει. ἀγαθὰ δὲ ὅσα ἐγένετο διὰ ταύτην τὴν εἰρήνην, ἐγὼ ὑμῖν³ φράσω.

[4] On that occasion we secured a peace of fifty years with Sparta ; and both sides kept the treaty in question for thirteen. Let us consider this single instance first, gentlemen. Did the Athenian democracy ever fall during this peace? No one can show that it did. On the contrary, I will tell you how much you benefited by this peace.
