quod tamen adgressae scelus aut quo crimine sontes, si iuvenem, qui iussa sui tam dira tyranni impavidus maria et nondum qui nota subibat, iuvimus et magnis aliquam spem movimus ausis? an nullas perferre preces nec foedera regis ulla sequi, caeca sed cuncta impellere pugna debuimus? sic Thraces agunt, sic turbidus iste, siqua petit.
Yet what crime have we wrought, wherein lies our guilt, if we have helped a youth who fearlessly obeyed the dire behest of his own lord and faced the as yet unknown main, if we have stirred in him some hope of accomplishing a mighty enterprise? Ought we to have made no prayers, sought no agreement with the king, but plunged all into battles doubtful issue? So act the Thracians, and so this turbulent fellow here, whenever he seeks aught.
