Demosthenes, Against Midias, section 161 (search)
Voluntary
gifts were first introduced at Athens for the expedition to Euboea. Meidias was not one of those volunteers, but I was, and
my colleague was Philinus, the son of Nicostratus. There was a second call
subsequently for Olynthus. Meidias
was not one of those volunteers either. Yet surely the public-spirited man ought

you should be hoodwinked and misled. For even though you had no other basis of
calculation, even though you were unable of yourselves to grasp the state of
affairs, you had before your eyes the example of those people at Olynthus. What has Philip done for them?
And how are they treating him? He restored Potidaea to them, not at a time when he was no longer able to
keep them out, as Cersobleptes restored the Chersonesus to you; no,—after spending a great deal
of money on his war with you, when he had taken Potidaea, and could have kept it if he chose, he made them a
present of the place, without even attempting any other course
