[65]
It would not have been safe in
Olynthus to plead Philip's
cause, unless the Olynthian democracy had shared in the enjoyment of the
revenues of Potidaea. It would not have
been safe in Thessaly to plead Philip's
cause, if the commoners of Thessaly had
not shared in the advantages that Philip conferred when he expelled their
tyrants and restored to them their Amphictyonic privileges. It would not have
been safe at Thebes, until he gave
them back Boeotia and wiped out the
Phocians.
