Yes, the power and sovereignty of Macedonia is indeed, as an adjunct, no slight
contribution, as you found it when on your side against Olynthus in the days of Timotheus.1 On another occasion, in dealing
with Potidaea, the Olynthians found its
cooperation of some value; and lately it came to the help of the Thessalians in
their factions and feuds against the ruling house. The accession, I suppose,
even of a small force is in every way helpful; but by itself Macedonia is weak and full of defects.
