In Macedonia, Philip conceived a plan to win over the Greek cities in Thrace to his side, and marched into that region.1 Cersobleptes, who was the king of the Thracians, had been following a policy of reducing the Hellespontine cities bordering on his territory and of ravaging their territories.

1 Continued from chap. 69. Justin's account (9.1.1) of these operations is drawn from a source hostile to Philip.
