61
“Some think that it is virtue, and others think that it is justice, ...

67
... but peace is full of weddings, feasts, relatives, children, friends, wealth, health, food, wine, and pleasure.”
ἡ δ’ εἰρήνη πλέα γάμων, ἑορτῶν, συγγενῶν, παίδων, φίλων, πλούτου, ὑγιείας, σίτου, οἴνου, ἡδονῆς.
68
“I do not know if any one wants to make a treaty and live in peace, ...
εἰ δ’ ἄλλος τις βούλεται σπονδὰς ποιεῖσθαι καὶ εἰρήνην ἄγειν, οὐκ οἶδα.
69
... but I would like to, myself.”
ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ αὐτὸς ἂν βουλοίμην.
70
“But how shall I alone persuade the people?”
ἀλλὰ πῶς μόνος ὢν τὸν δῆμον ἀναπείσω;
71
“What shall I say or shout or order, if I am going to make a treaty?”
τί λέγων, ἢ τί βοῶν, ἢ τί κελεύων, σπονδὰς ποιήσομαι;
72
“But I shall go, ready to shout and abuse anyone who speaks about anything except peace.”
ἀλλ’ οὖν εἶμι, ἐτοῖμος ὢν βοᾶν καὶ κακὰ λέγειν τὸν ἄλλο τι πλὴν περὶ εἰρήνης λέγοντα.

οὔτε γὰρ εἰς ἐκκλησίαν σπεύδοιμι ἄν, οὔτε ἂν ἐκ τῆς πατρίδος φυέγειν βουλοίμην.
78
“Don’t they know that the poet spoke truly who said ...
ἆρ’ οὐκ ἴσασιν ὅτι ἀληθῆ ἐποίησεν ὁ ποιητὴς ὁ ποιήσας·
79
'These matters lie in the lap of the gods' ”
“ἀλλ’ ἦ τοι μὲν ταῦτα θεῶν ἐν γούνασι κεῖται;”
