[85]
But of all the many shameful services rendered by
Aeschines to Philip, let me mention the one that really implied the most
insolent disdain of the city and of you all. Philip was resolved from the first
to do for the Thebans all that he has done, but Aeschines by the perversions of
his report revealed your repugnance, and so intensified both your hostility and
Philip's friendliness towards the Thebans. How could the man have treated you
more arrogantly?
