About the same time the
Paeonians, who lived near Macedonia, began to pillage their territory, showing contempt for the
Macedonians, and the Illyrians began to assemble large armies and prepare for an invasion of
Macedonia, while a certain Pausanias,1 who was related to the royal line of Macedon, was
planning with the aid of the Thracian king2
to join the contest for the throne of Macedon. Similarly, the Athenians too, being hostile to
Philip, were endeavouring to restore Argaeus3 to the throne and had
dispatched Mantias as general with three thousand hoplites and a considerable naval force.
