ὁ μὲν ταῦτʼ εἰπὼν ἐπαύσατο. τῶν δʼ Ἀθηναίων πάμπολλοι μὲν συνηγόρευον, πάντες δʼ ἐψηφίσαντο βοηθεῖν αὐτοῖς. Θρασύβουλος δὲ ἀποκρινάμενος τὸ ψήφισμα καὶ τοῦτο ἐνεδείκνυτο, ὅτι ἀτειχίστου τοῦ Πειραιῶς ὄντος ὅμως παρακινδυνεύσοιεν χάριτα αὐτοῖς ἀποδοῦναι μείζονα ἢ ἔλαβον. ὑμεῖς μὲν γάρ, ἔφη, οὐ συνεστρατεύσατε ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, ἡμεῖς δέ γε μεθʼ ὑμῶν μαχούμεθα ἐκείνοις, ἂν ἴωσιν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς.

[16]
With these words he ceased speaking. But as for the Athenians, very many spoke in support of him and they voted unanimously to aid the Thebans. And Thrasybulus, after giving the ambassadors the decree for an answer, pointed out also that, although Piraeus was without walls, they would nevertheless brave the danger of repaying to the Thebans a greater favour¹ than they had received. For whereas you, he said, did not join in the campaign against us, we are going to fight along with you against them, in case they march upon you.
