Shelmerdine Chapter 18 ὁ δὲ Θεμιστοκλῆς, οὐ γὰρ ἐνόμισε πείσειν τοὺς πολλοὺς στρατεύειν εἰς τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον, ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐχ ἡμεῖς ἐσώσαμεν ἡμᾶς αὐτούς τε καὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα, ἀλλ' οἱ θεοὶ οἳ οὐκ ἤθελον τὸν αὐτὸν ἄνδρα τῆς τε Ἀσίας καὶ τῆς Εὐρώπης βασιλεῦσαι. νῦν οὖν ἀγαθόν ἐστι βασιλέα μὲν πορεύεσθαι εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν, ἡμᾶς δὲ καταμένειν ἐν τῇ Ἑλλάδι. Θεμιστοκλῆς μὲν οὕτως ἔλεξεν, ὅτι ἀποθήκην ἔμελλε σχήσειν χάριτος πρὸς βασιλεῖ, οἱ δὲ Ἀθηναῖοι ἐπείθοντο· ἐνόμιζον γὰρ αὐτὸν σοφώτατον ἄνδρα εἶναι .
