But now when he had said this, he gave the clerk a resolution to read, longer than the Iliad, but more empty than the speeches that he is accustomed to deliver and the life that he has lived. Empty did I say? Nay, full of hopes that were not to be realized and of armies that were never to be assembled.

But when we reached Macedonia and found Philip returned from Thrace, we held a meeting;This was a private meeting of the Athenian ambassadors to discuss what they should say to Philip at the coming audience. the decree under which we were acting was read, and we went over the instructions that had been given us in addition to the business of receiving the oaths.
