καίτοι τίς ἂν αὐτῷ καλλίων καιρὸς ἐγένετο, ἢ τότ᾽ ἐξελέγχειν εὐθύς, εἴ τι τὴν πόλιν ἐξηπάτων; φῂς γάρ με ἐν μὲν τῇ προτέρᾳ πρεσβείᾳ λαθεῖν σαυτὸν συνεστηκότα ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ὑστέρᾳ αἰσθέσθαι, ἐν ᾗ συναγορεύων μοι φαίνῃ. κἀκείνης μὲν ἅμα κατηγορῶν οὐ φῂς κατηγορεῖν, τῆς δ᾽ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὅρκους κατηγορεῖς. καίτοι εἰ τὴν εἰρήνην ψέγεις, σὺ καὶ τὴν συμμαχίαν ἔγραψας: καὶ Φίλιππος εἴ τι τὴν πόλιν ἐξηπάτα, διὰ τοῦτο ἐψεύδετο, ὅπως τῆς εἰρήνης ἥπερ1 συνέφερεν αὐτῷ τύχοι. οὐκοῦν ἡ μὲν προτέρα πρεσβεία τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον εἶχεν, ἡ δ᾽ ὑστέρα ἐπὶ πεπραγμένοις ἐγίγνετο.
