ἡμεῖς μὲν δὴ ὡς ἄξιον ὄντα θαυμάζεσθαι τοῦτον τὸν ἄνδρα ἐσκεψάμεθα τίς ποτ᾽ ὢν γενεὰν καὶ ποίαν τινὰ φύσιν ἔχων καὶ ποίᾳ τινὶ παιδευθεὶς παιδείᾳ τοσοῦτον διήνεγκεν εἰς τὸ ἄρχειν ἀνθρώπων . ὅσα οὖν καὶ ἐπυθόμεθα καὶ ᾐσθῆσθαι δοκοῦμεν περὶ αὐτοῦ , ταῦτα πειρασόμεθα διηγήσασθαι .
Believing
this
man
to
be
deserving
of
all
admiration
,
we
have
therefore
investigated
who
he
was
in
his
origin
,
what
natural
endowments
he
possessed
,
and
what
sort
of
education
he
had
enjoyed
,
that
he
so
greatly
excelled
in
governing
men
.
Accordingly
,
what
we
have
found
out
or
think
we
know
concerning
him
we
shall
now
endeavour
to
present
.
