If the
Megalopolitans, though peace is secured for them, still cling to the Theban
alliance, it will of course be obvious to all that they prefer the ambition of
Thebes to the claims of justice;
or if, while the Megalopolitans join our alliance in all sincerity, the
Lacedaemonians refuse to keep the peace, then it will be equally obvious that
the object of their activities is not merely to restore Thespiae, but to subjugate the Peloponnese while the Thebans are engrossed in
the war.
