[4]
The Thessalians recognize that he is
determined to be their despot and not the president of a confederacy. The
Thebans suspect him, because he keeps a garrison at Nicaea and has stolen into the Amphictyonic
Council, and because he attracts to his court the embassies of the Peloponnesian
powers and secures their allies for himself. Thus of his old friends some are
even now his irreconcilable foes, others are no longer his hearty supporters,
while all regard him with suspicion and dislike.
