Never would you have consented to add to the treaty
by afterthought the words “and to his posterity,” but for
your confidence in the promises alleged by Aeschines. In those promises the
Phocians confided,—and perished! They surrendered themselves to
Philip; of their own accord they put their cities at his mercy; and their
treatment has exactly contradicted all the assurances of Aeschines.
