But I am at no loss for plenty of instances in the light
of which a man might reasonably be skeptical, instead of putting his trust in
those orators, and allowing Cersobleptes to become a potentate. However, I will
be content with the instance that lies nearest to hand. Of course, gentlemen,
you all know that Macedonian, Philip. It was certainly more profitable for him
to draw the revenues of all Macedonia
in safety, than the revenue of Amphipolis with risks attached; and more agreeable to have you,
his hereditary friends, on his side, than the Thessalians who once ejected his
own father.
