[163]
I say that, when
Aeschines had provoked the war in Amphissa, and when his associates had helped him to aggravate
our enmity towards Thebes, the
result was that Philip marched against us, in pursuance of the purpose for which
they had embroiled the states, and that, if we had not roused ourselves a little
just in time, we could never have retrieved our position; so far had these men
carried the quarrel. You will better understand the state of feeling between the
two cities, when you have heard the decrees and the answers sent thereto. Please
take and read these papers.
