Pytho therefore urged public
speakers not to attack the peace, because it was not good policy to rescind it,
but to amend any unsatisfactory clause, on the understanding that Philip was

preserving the terms of peace, might clear Philip of suspicion, he asked you to
pay no attention to such fellows.
