[9] How much harm did it do to the enemy, and how much benefit to the city? The best proof is this: at the time when our ships were destroyed in the last sea-fight,¹ and I had no commander on board with me,—I may mention this, as your anger on account of the disaster that occurred was shown even against those who had charge of the warships,—I not only brought away my own vessel, but I also saved that of Nausimachus of Phalerum.

[9] ἢ πόσα τοὺς πολεμίους εἰργάσθαι κακά; ἢ πόσα τὴν πόλιν εὖ πεποιηκέναι; τεκμήριον δὲ τούτου μέγιστον· ὅτε γὰρ ἐν τῇ τελευταίᾳ ναυμαχία αἱ νῆες διεφθάρησαν, οὐδενός μοι συμπλέοντος στρατηγοῦ (ἵνα καὶ τούτου μνησθῶ, ἐπειδὴ καὶ τοῖς¹ τριηράρχοις ὠργίσθητε διὰ τὴν γενομένην συμφοράν) ἐγὼ τήν τε ἐμαυτοῦ ναῦν ἐκόμισα καὶ τὴν Ναυσιμάχου τοῦ Φαληρέως ἔσωσα.
