2. τὴν τόθ᾽ ὑποῦσαν (cf. ὕπεστι, § 315.2): a mild way of speaking of the enmity against Thebes in 346 B.C. See § 18.3 with note. 4. οὐκ εἰς μακράν (sc. ὁδόν), not much later, not a long way off: εἰς of looking forward to an end, as in § 151.8, εἰς Πυλαίαν.—τοὺς μὲν...ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν (7): eleven days after the report of the second embassy to the Assembly, the alarming news of the surrender of the Phocians at Thermopylae arrived. See Hist. § 36. 7. σκευαγωγεῖν, i.e. were bringing your goods into the towns, as ordered by the decree of Callisthenes (§ 37).— χρυσίον λαβεῖν: in malicious contrast to σκευαγωγεῖν. 8. τὴν μὲν ἀπέχθειαν...Φιλίππῳ: i.e. Athens by her vacillating course got nothing but the ill will of Philip's Greek friends, who believed that she would have protected the Phocians if she had dared to; while Philip had all the credit for ending the Sacred War and punishing the sacrilegious Phocians.
