Id etsi vere dictum Philocles animadvertebat, tamen postulata facere noluit, quod sentiebat se, Alcibiade recepto, nullius momenti apud exercitum futurum et, si quid secundi evenisset, nullam in ea re suam partem fore, contra ea, si quid adversi accidisset, se unum eius delicti futurum reum.
Although Philocles understood that what Alcibiades said was true, he nevertheless did not choose to do what he asked, because he saw that if the exile were taken back, he himself would be of no importance in the army; also that in the event of success he would be given no credit, while if any reverse was suffered, he alone would be held responsible.
