Accordingly
the persons I have mentioned began to consider by what means those commanders
might be compelled to remain inactive, so that, the rival princes being
friendless, Charidemus, who was striving to win the monarchy for Cersobleptes,

enacted by you, making any man who should kill Charidemus liable to arrest; and
the second was that Charidemus should receive from you a general's commission.
