Ἐμοὶ δὲ τοιοῦτον ἔργον ἔστ' εἰργασμένον, ὥστε ἁπαξάπαντας τοὺς ἐμοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἐπιστομίζειν, ἕως ἂν ᾖ τῶν ἀσπίδων τῶν ἐκ Πύλου τι λοιπόν· θρυλεῖ πάλιν ὁ Κλέων τὰ περὶ Πύλον καὶ Σφακτηρίαν. ἔθος δὲ ἦν τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν πολέμων ὅπλα τοῖς ἱεροῖς ἀνατιθέναι. ἕως οὖν, φησίν, ἀνάκειται τὰ ὅπλα Πύλου καὶ Σφακτηρίας, ἅπερ ἀνέθηκα, οὐδεὶς τολμήσει κατ' ἐμοῦ λέγειν.
