But
Philip, although, as you have heard from his letter, he admits the justice of
this amendment and consents to accept it, has robbed the Pheraeans of their
city, placing a garrison in their citadel, in order, I suppose, to ensure their
independence; he is even now engaged in an expedition against Ambracia, and as for the three Elean
colonies in Cassopia1—Pandosia, Bucheta, and Elatea—he has wasted their
land with fire, stormed their cities, and handed them over to be the slaves of
his own kinsman, Alexander. How zealous he is for the freedom and independence
of the Greeks, you may judge from his acts.
