Δοῦρις μὲν οὖν οὐδ᾽ ὅπου μηδὲν αὐτῷ πρόσεστιν ἴδιον πάθος εἰωθὼς κρατεῖν τὴν διήγησιν ἐπὶ τῆς ἀληθείας μᾶλλον ἔοικεν ἐνταῦθα δεινῶσαι τὰς τῆς πατρίδος συμφορὰς ἐπὶ διαβολῇ τῶν Ἀθηναίων .
At
all
events
since
it
is
not
the
wont
of
Duris
even
in
cases
where
he
has
no
private
and
personal
interest
to
hold
his
narrative
down
to
the
fundamental
truth
it
is
all
the
more
likely
that
here
in
this
instance
he
has
given
a
dreadful
portrayal
of
the
calamities
of
his
country
that
he
might
calumniate
the
Athenians
.
