Translation: The Athenians took over the leadership [among the Greeks], and the allies were willing to let them because of their hatred for
Pausanias [1]. The Athenians decided which of the cities would provide money against the Barbarian and which would provide ships: pretext for this was what they had suffered while ravaging the territory of the King. And the highest office established by the Athenians was that of the Treasurers of Greece.[2]

Thucydides 1.96.1-2 almost verbatim but diverges from it in this last sentence and so distorts the emphasis. In
Thucydides the point is that at, or from, the first (the Greek adverb
prw=ton, not, as here, its cognate adjective) these officials were domestic Athenian ones.
