When the King of Sparta had crossed the Hellespont and was about
to march through Thrace, he sent to the people in the different
regions, asking them whether he should march through their
country as a friend or as an enemy. “By all means as a friend,”
said most of the regions; but the King of Macedon replied, “I
will take time to consider it.” “Then,” said the King of Sparta,
“Let him consider it, but meantime we march, we march.” (Text.)
