[3] παραχωρεῖτε τῆς φιλοτιμίας ταύτης ἑτέροις. ἐγὼ δὲ ἀρετῆς μὲν ἕνεκα καὶ τῆς κατὰ χεῖρα γενναιότητος, ἣν οὐ λανθάνουσαν ἔχετε, πάντων μάλιστα δεξομένους ὑμᾶς τὸν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀριστείων κίνδυνον ἄρασθαι, δεδοικὼς μὴ τὸ πρὸς τοὺς Ἀλβανοὺς τριδύμους συγγενὲς ἐμπόδιον ὑμῖν γένηται τῆς προθυμίας, [p. 300] χρόνον ᾐτησάμην εἰς βουλὴν ἀνακωχὰς δεχημέρους ποιησάμενος: ὡς δὲ ἀφικόμην δεῦρο τὴν βουλὴν συνεκάλεσα καὶ προὔθηκα περὶ τοῦ πράγματος ἐν κοινῷ σκοπεῖν: δόξαν δὲ ταῖς πλείοσι γνώμαις, εἰ μὲν ἑκόντες ἀναδέχοισθε τὸν ἀγῶνα καλὸν ὄντα καὶ προσήκοντα ὑμῖν, ὃν ἐγὼ πρόθυμος ἤμην μόνος ὑπὲρ ἁπάντων διαγωνίσασθαι, ἐπαινεῖν τε καὶ δέχεσθαι τὴν χάριν ὑμῶν, εἰ δὲ τὸ συγγενὲς ἐντρεπόμενοι μίασμα, οὐ γὰρ δὴ κακοὶ ψυχὴν ὁμολογοῦντες εἶναι, τοὺς ἔξω τοῦ γένους ἀξιώσαιτε καλεῖν, μηδεμίαν ὑμῖν ἀνάγκην προσφέρειν. ταῦτα τῆς :βουλῆς ψηφισαμένης καὶ οὔτε πρὸς ὀργὴν δεξομένης εἰ δι᾽ ὄκνου τὸ ἔργον λάβοιτε οὔτε μικρὰν χάριν εἰσομένης ὑμῖν εἰ τιμιωτέραν ἡγήσαισθε τῆς συγγενείας τὴν πατρίδα, τυγχάνετε εὖ βουλευσάμενοι.
