Original Text :	λέγεται δὲ καὶ Ἀνταλκίδας, Ἀθηναίου τινὸς ἀμφισβητοῦντος ὑπὲρ ἀνδρείας πρός αὐτὸν καὶ εἰπόντος, ‘ἡμεῖς μέντοι πολλάκις ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ Κηφισοῦ ἐδιώξαμεν,’ ὑποτυχεῖν, ‘ἀλλ᾽ Ἡμεῖς γε οὐδέποτε ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ Εὐρώτα.’
Translation :	It is said also that Antalcidas, when an Athenian was disputing with him over the valour of the two peoples and said, ‘Yet we have often driven you away from the Cephisus,’ replied: ‘But we have never driven you away from the Eurotas.’
