Aeschines, Against Ctesiphon, section 83 (search)
and if Philip was willing to refer our differences to some state as an equal and impartial arbiter, he said that between Philip and us there was no impartial arbiter. Philip offered to give us Halonnesus; Demosthenes forbade us to accept it if he “gave it,” instead of “giving it back,” quarrelling over syllables.The anti-Macedonian party refused to accept the island unless Philip would admit that he had been holding it wrongfully, and so was “giving it back,” not giving it” (a)podi/dwsi—di/dwsin). And finally, by bestowing crowns of honor on the embassy which Aristodemus led to Thessaly and Magnesia contrary to the provisions of the peace, he violated the peace and prepared the final d
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 1, section 13 (search)
Then having settled Pherae, Pagasae, Magnesia, and the rest of that country to suit his purposes,
off he went to Thrace, and there, after
evicting some of the chiefs and installing others, he fell sick. On his
recovery, he did not relapse into inactivity, but instantly assailed Olynthus. His campaigns against Illyrians
and Paeonians and King Arybbas and any others that might be mentioned, I pass
over in silence.
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 1, section 22 (search)
The Thessalians were always, of course, born traitors, and Philip finds them
today just what everyone has found them in the past. They have formally resolved
to demand the restitution of Pagasae
and have hindered him from fortifying Magnesia. I have also been informed that they will no longer
hand over to him the profits of their harbors and markets, on the ground that
this sum ought to be applied to the government of Thessaly and not find its way into Philip's coffers. Now if he
is deprived of this source of revenue, he will be hard put to it to pay for the
maintenance of his mercenaries.

Demosthenes, Olynthiac 2, section 11 (search)
I urge you strongly to send help to Olynthus, and the best and quickest
method that anyone can suggest will please me most. To the Thessalians you must
send an embassy to inform some of them of our intentions and to stir up the
others; for they have already decided to demand the restoration of Pagasae and to protest against the occupation
of Magnesia.
Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 22 (search)
And what of the Thessalians? Do you
imagine,” I said, “that when he was expelling their despots,
or again when he was presenting them with Nicaea and Magnesia,
they ever dreamed that a Council of TenAccording to Dem. 9.26 Philip set up
>tetrarchies in Thessaly.
The two accounts may be reconciled by assuming that he retained the old
fourfold division of the country, but set up an oligarchy of ten in each
division. Philip, whose policy was to divide and conquer, would be unlikely
to centralize the government. It is just possible that dekadarxi/an may be a mistaken amplification of *d'arxi/an=tetrarxi/an, but in that case the singular would be strange.
Owing to the decarchies which Lysander imposed on so many free cities at the
end of the Peloponnesian war, the num
