I will point
out a further breach of the compact. For it is laid down that it shall not be
lawful for exiles to set out, bearing arms, from the states which are parties to

the terms of the treaty. Now the Macedonian king has been so unscrupulous about
bearing arms that he has never yet laid them down, but even now goes about
bearing arms, as far as is in his power, and more so indeed now than ever,
inasmuch as he has reinstated the professional trainer at Sicyon by an edict, and other exiles
elsewhere.
