Yet you must not imagine that either the Abydenes or
the people at Sestus would have admitted him, after that letter had been sent to
you, if they had not been aware that he was cheating you, or if they had not
been actually parties to the deception. They wanted you to provide a safe
passage for the troops, and then, after the passage, to get the use of them for
their own purposes; as in fact they did, when Artabazus had granted a
safe-conduct.—To prove that such are the facts read the
letters,—I mean the letter sent by Charidemus, and those that came
from the authorities in the Chersonesus.—You will learn from them that the facts are
so.—Read.“
