[17]
Now no man who is an enemy of ours as well as of
Charidemus will ever enter allied territory, whether he has put him to death or
not, and therefore it is not against such men that this retribution has been
directed. The man who will be alarmed by this decree, and will be on his guard
against be coming our certain enemy, is one who is a friend of ours, and also an
enemy of his, if he should attempt anything inimical to us. And that man is
Athenodorus, or Simon, or Bianor, kings of Thrace, or any other man who may wish to lay you under
obligation by restraining Charidemus when he is trying to act in opposition to
you.
