οἱ μὲν τοιαῦτ᾽ ἔλεγον. Διοπείθης δέ, μάλα χρησμολόγος ἀνήρ, Λεωτυχίδῃ συναγορεύων εἶπεν ὡς καὶ Ἀπόλλωνος χρησμὸς εἴη φυλάξασθαι τὴν χωλὴν βασιλείαν. Λύσανδρος δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ Ἀγησιλάου ἀντεῖπεν ὡς οὐκ οἴοιτο τὸν θεὸν τοῦτο κελεύειν φυλάξασθαι, μὴ προσπταίσας τις χωλεύσαι, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον μὴ οὐκ ὢν τοῦ γένους βασιλεύσειε. παντάπασι γὰρ ἂν χωλὴν εἶναι τὴν βασιλείαν ὁπότε μὴ οἱ ἀφ᾽ Ἡρακλέους τῆς πόλεως ἡγοῖντο.
Xenophon. Xenophontis opera omnia, vol. 1. Oxford, Clarendon Press. 1900 (repr. 1968).
