was no such compact, and it would not have paid to make one which would entail a
voyage from Macedonia to Athens or from Athens to Macedonia in order to obtain satisfaction. Instead, we sought

and they at Athens under ours. So do
not forget that the real object of this proposed compact is to get your
admission that you have no reasonable claim to Potidaea.
