[173]
The ambassadors took their departure;
but by mere lapse of time the business came to such a pass, with these men
dawdling and refusing to take any plain, honest action in your service, that we
sent a relief expedition to Euboea, and
Chares, on returning with his mercenaries, was sent out by you to the Chersonesus as plenipotentiary. So Charidemus
once more drafts a new convention with Chares, supported by Athenodorus and the
two kings: here it is,—the best and most equitable of the lot. He has
convicted himself by his conduct of lying in wait for opportunities against
Athens; there is no uprightness,
no equity, in his policy.
