Curious conference between the Athenians and Melians
in which all regard to Justice is opening cast off, & the
Loi du plus fort openly recognised. p.117-132
Futility of supernatural dependences urged by the
Athenians – the Melians as being the weaker, and
tinctured with Spartan notions talk a little on the

au dernier point confus, elliptique & obscur. Mais il
est exact, judicieux & philosophe. Le stile Xenophon est
