The historians Dionysodorus and Anaxis,1 Boeotians, closed their narrative of Greek history with this year. But we, now that we have narrated the events before the time of King Philip, bring this book to a close here in accordance with the plan stated at the beginning.2 In the following book which begins with Philip's accession to the throne, we shall record all the achievements of this king to his death, including in its compass those other events as well which have occurred in the known portions of the world.

1 These Boeotian historians are to us mere names. No fragments exist.

2 See chap. 1.6.
