To prove the truth of my statement, please call the
witnesses.Witnesses[We, Callias of Sunium, Zeno of Phlya, Cleon of Phalerum, Demonicus of
Marathon, on behalf of all the councillors, bear witness for Demosthenes
that, when the people elected Aeschines state-advocate before the

However, I
think I can satisfy you that their punishment will more probably sow the seed of
a profitable friendship. Let me tell you, men of Athens, that Philip does not undervalue your city; it was not
because he thought you less serviceable that he preferred the Thebans to you.
But he was schooled by these men and was informed by them—I once told
you this in Assembly, and none of them contradicted me

Thus by
rejecting this man from his spokesmanship, and giving the appointment to
another, the Council branded him as a traitor and an enemy to the
people.So much for one of his spirited
performances. Is it not just like the charges he brings against me? Now let me
remind you of another. Philip had sent to us Pytho of Byzantium in company with an embassy representing all his
allies, hoping to bring dishonor upon Athens and convict her of injustice. Pytho was mightily confident, denouncing you
with a full spate of eloquence, but I did not shrink from the encounter. I stood

commonwealth, and proving that Philip was in the wrong so conclusively that his
own allies rose and admitted I was right; but Aeschines took Philip

that a democracy is the most unstable and capricious
thing in the world, like a restless wave of the sea ruffled by the breeze as
chance will have it. One man comes, another goes; no one attends to, or even
remembers, the common weal. Philip, they said, ought to have friends at
Athens, who would manage his
business for him as it arose, and carry it through—the person
speaking, for example; if that provision were made, he would easily accomplish
here whatever he desired

Now if he had heard
that the persons who talked like that to him had been cudgelled to death
immediately after their return home, I fancy he would have done what the King of
Persia did. You remember what that
was: the King had been inveigled by Timagoras, and had made him a present, as
the story goes, of forty talents; but when he heard that the man had been put to
death at Athens, and had not been
competent to warrant his own life, much less to fulfil his undertaking, he
realized that he had not paid the price to the man who could deliver the goods.
The first result was that he again placed in subjection to you the city of
Amphipolis, which he had put
on his own list of friends and allies; and the second, that he nevermore gave
money to anyb
