22. Χάρης δὲ παραλαβὼν παντὸς τοῦ στόλου
τὴν ἡγεμονίαν καὶ σπεύδων τῆς δαπάνης ἀπαλλάξαι τοὺς Ἀθηναίους
ἐπεχείρησε πράξει παραβόλῳ: Ἀρταβάζου γὰρ ἀποστάντος ἀπὸ τοῦ
βασιλέως καὶ μέλλοντος ὀλίγοις στρατιώταις πρὸς τοὺς σατράπας
διαγωνίζεσθαι μυριάδας ἑπτὰ στρατιωτῶν ἔχοντας, συμμαχήσαντος αὐτῷ
Χάρητος πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει καὶ νικήσαντος τὴν τοῦ βασιλέως δύναμιν, ὁ
μὲν Ἀρτάβαζος ἀποδιδοὺς τῆς εὐεργεσίας χάριτας ἐδωρήσατο πλῆθος
χρημάτων, ἐξ ὧν δυνατὸν ἦν πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν ὀψωνιάζεσθαι,
[2]
οἱ δ᾽ Ἀθηναῖοι τὸ μὲν πρῶτον
ἀπεδέξαντο τὴν πρᾶξιν τοῦ Χάρητος, ὕστερον δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως πρέσβεις
ἀποστείλαντος καὶ κατηγοροῦντος τοῦ Χάρητος τὴν ἐναντίαν ἔσχον
γνώμην: διεδόθη γὰρ λόγος ὅτι τοῖς πολεμίοις τῶν Ἀθηναίων βασιλεὺς
ἐπηγγείλατο τριακοσίαις ναυσὶ συγκαταπολεμήσειν τοὺς Ἀθηναίους. ταῦτ᾽
οὖν ὁ δῆμος εὐλαβηθεὶς ἔκρινε καταλύσασθαι τὸν πρὸς τοὺς
ἀφεστηκότας πόλεμον: εὑρὼν δὲ κἀκείνους ἐπιθυμοῦντας τῆς εἰρήνης
ῥᾳδίως πρὸς αὐτοὺς διελύσατο.ὁ μὲν οὖν
συμμαχικὸς ὀνομασθεὶς πόλεμος τοιοῦτον ἔσχε τὸ τέλος, διαμείνας ἔτη
τέτταρα.
[3]
κατὰ δὲ τὴν Μακεδονίαν τρεῖς
βασιλεῖς συνέστησαν ἐπὶ τὸν Φίλιππον, ὅ τε τῶν Θρᾳκῶν καὶ
Παιόνων καὶ Ἰλλυριῶν. οὗτοι γὰρ ὄντες ὅμοροι τοῖς Μακεδόσι καὶ
τὴν αὔξησιν ὑφορώμενοι τοῦ Φιλίππου καθ᾽ ἑαυτοὺς μὲν οὐκ ἦσαν
ἀξιόμαχοι προηττημένοι, κοινῇ δὲ πολεμοῦντες ὑπέλαβον ῥᾳδίως αὐτοῦ
περιέσεσθαι. διόπερ ἀθροιζόντων τὰς δυνάμεις ἐπιφανεὶς ἀσυντάκτοις
καὶ καταπληξάμενος ἠνάγκασε προσθέσθαι τοῖς Μακεδόσιν.
