We are at last assembled.

It has not been easy to assemble, nor even now are our objects defined.

We ought not to be still inquiring into the fact of our wrongs, but into the means of our defence.

For the aggressors with matured plans to oppose to our indecision have cast threats aside and betaken themselves to action.

And we know what are the paths by which Athenian aggression travels, and how insidious is its progress.
