When Charondes was archon at Athens, Lucius Aemilius and Gaius Plautius succeeded to the consulship.1 In this year, Philip the king, having won most of the Greeks over to friendship with him, was ambitious to gain the uncontested leadership of Greece by terrifying the Athenians into submission.2

1 Chaerondes was archon at Athens from July 338 to June 337 B.C. The consuls of 341 B.C. were L. Aemilius Mamercinus Privernas and C. Plautius Venno (Broughton, 1.134).

2 Continued from chap. 77.3. These events are briefly noted in Justin 9.3.
