In the first place,
Athenians, if anyone views with confidence the present power of Philip and the
extent of his dominions, if anyone imagines that all this imports no danger to
our city and that you are not the object of his preparations, I must express my
astonishment, and beg you all alike to listen to a brief statement of the
considerations that have led me to form the opposite conclusion and to regard
Philip as our enemy. Then, if you think me the better prophet, adopt my advice;
if you prefer those who have so confidently trusted him, give them your
allegiance.
