[158]
You see how he
avoids personal excuses, and takes shelter in Amphictyonic reasons. Who gave him
his equipment of deceit? Who supplied him with these pretexts ? Who above all
others is to blame for all the ensuing mischief? Who but Aeschines? Then do not
go about saying, men of Athens, that
these disasters were brought upon Greece by Philip alone. I solemnly aver that it was not one
man, but a gang of traitors in every state.
