But at Athens, though Philip has not only robbed
you of Amphipolis and the
Cardian territory, but is also turning Euboea into a fortress to overawe you, and is even now on his
way to attack Byzantium, it is
safe to speak on Philip's behalf. Indeed, of these politicians, some who were
beggars are suddenly growing rich, some unknown to name and fame are now men of
honor and distinction; while you, on the contrary, have passed from honor to
dishonor, from affluence to destitution. For a city's wealth I hold to be
allies, credit, goodwill, and of all these you are destitute.
