Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 17 (search)
Now no man who is an enemy of ours as well as of
Charidemus will ever enter allied territory, whether he has put him to death or
not, and therefore it is not against such men that this retribution has been
directed. The man who will be alarmed by this decree, and will be on his guard
against be coming our certain enemy, is one who is a friend of ours, and also an
enemy of his, if he should attempt anything inimical to us. And that man is
Athenodorus, or Simon, or Bianor, kings of Thrace, or any other man who may wish to lay you under
obligation by restraining Charidemus when he is trying to act in opposition to
you.
Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 57 (search)
Let us suppose that a
fate that has doubtless befallen others before now should befall
him—that he should withdraw from Thrace and come and live somewhere in a civilized community;
and that, though no longer enjoying the licence under which he now commits many
illegalities, he should be driven by his habits and his lusts to attempt the
sort of behavior I have mentioned, will not a man be obliged to allow himself to
be insulted by Charidemus in silence? It will not be safe to put him to death,
nor, by reason of this decree, to obtain the satisfaction provided by law.
Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 114 (search)
But what
need to name Philip, or any other man? Why, Cersobleptes' own father, Cotys,
whenever he had a quarrel on hand, used to send his ambassadors, and was ready
to do anything, and then he could see that being at war with Athens was quite unprofitable. But, as soon
as he had all Thrace at his command, he
would occupy cities, do mischief, discharge his drunken fury, first on himself,
and then on us; he must needs subjugate the whole country; there was no dealing
with the fellow. For everybody who attempts improper enterprises for the sake of
aggrandizement is apt to look, not to the difficulties of his task, but to what
he will achieve if successful.
Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 117 (search)
It is said that, when the Lacedaemonians were trying to overreach him, and
offered any assurance he was willing to accept, Philocrates replied that the
only possible assurance would be that they should satisfy him that, if they had
a mind to injure him, they would not have the power; “for,”
he added, “I am quite certain that you will always have the mind, and
there can be no assurance so long as you have the power.”
That,—if you will let me advise you,—is the sort of
assurance that you will hold against this Thracian. If he ever became master of
all Thrace, you need not inquire what
his sentiments toward yo
Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 164 (search)
Now what, men of Athens, was the conduct proper for a really
single-minded and friendly person, after the arrival of a
commander,—not one of those men whom he might have called jealous of
himself, but the recipient of his letter, a man whom he had chosen out of all
Athens as his special
friend,—with Cotys in his grave, and himself in supreme power? Was it
not to restore your territory there and then? To cooperate with you in
establishing the king of Thrace? To
embrace the opportunity of exhibiting his friendly disposition towards you I
should say, y

Afterwards,
when we set sail—,no, it was not to attack any part of Thrace, or any fortress there. For this at
least no man can say: “Ah, yes; he did do a little
damage,—in self-defence, you know, and to protect himself.”
That is not true; we never went and to protect himself.”
That is not true; we never went to any place in Thrace; we went to Alopeconnesus, and that is in the Chersonesus and used to belong to
you,—a headland running out towards Imbros, a long way from Thrace; a place swarming with robbers and
pirates. and to protect himself.”

These
atrocities moved the whole population of Thrace to resentment; Berisades and Amadocus made a coalition;
and Athenodorus, recognizing a favorable opportunity, formed alliance with them,
and so was in a position to make war. Then Cersobleptes took fright, and
Athenodorus proposed a convention, under which he compelled Cersobleptes to make
a sworn engagement with you and with the other princes , formed alliance with them,
and so was in a position to make war. Then Cersobleptes took fright, and
Athenodorus proposed a convention, under which he compelled Cersobleptes to make
a sworn engagement with you and with the other princes that the kingdom of
Thrace should be held in common,
and divided among the three, and that they should all restore to you your
territory.
Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 175 (search)
The alliance
with the two kings was concluded in this manner after the fraud effected by the
convention with Cephisodotus. At that time Miltocythes had been got rid of, and
Charidemus was known by his conduct to be an enemy of Athens; for surely a man who, having got
into his power one known to him as the most loyal friend you had in all
Thrace, put him into the hands of
your enemies the Cardians, was ostentatiously displaying his great hostility
towards you.—Read the convention which Cersobleptes made later, when
he was afraid of war with the Thracians and with Athenodorus.

Here is the
letter sent by Cersobleptes later, after the arrival of the ambassadors in
Thrace,—he would agree to
nothing that was fair; and here is the letter sent by the others.—Read
this to the jury.
Letter
Now read the letter from the two
kings.—Consider whether you really think that they are making no
complaint.
Letter
Men of Athens, look at this see-saw of villainy and perfidy, and try
to understand it. First he was maltreating Cephisodotus; then he stopped,
because he was afraid of Athenodorus. Another time he tried to maltreat
Chabrias; changed his mind, and agreed with Chares. He always acted
inconsistently,With pepoi/hke, which Dind. kept but Cobet rightly brackets, the

I am sure that you all
know,—those of you who have visited the place know for certain, and
the rest by hearing their report,—that, the condition of Cardia being
what it is, if the relations of Cersobleptes with the Thracians ever become
favorable, he is able at twenty-four hours' notice to invade the Chersonesus quite safely. Indeed by its
situation the city of the Cardians occupies a position in the Chersonesus in relation to Thrace analogous to the position of Chalcis in Euboea in relation to Boeotia. Those of you who know its situation cannot be unaware
of the advantage for the sake of which he has acquired it for himself, and has
taken great pains to keep it out of our han
