[25]
The Thebans, so our elders
tell us, when the democracy in our city had been overthrown and Thrasybulus was
assembling the exiles in Thebes
ready for the seizure of Phyle,1 although the Spartans were strong and
forbade them to admit or let out any Athenian, helped the democrats to return
and passed that decree which has so often been read before you, stating that
they would turn a blind eye if any Athenian marched through their territory
bearing arms.
