Here is my translation. Do I have it about right?
We honour the Greeks, both past and present, because of this, namely,
that they have always loved freedom, as well as truth and goodness (or
"what is true and good"). For the sake of freedom, few used to wage war
against many, and often conquered. When seeking truth and goodness,
however, they wrote poems, plays and histories, carved statues and built
temples. A few of them are still (going) around in our time. This book
reports about both the Greeks and their deeds.
Thanks
