[35]
Of our own possessions, not to mention other places,
is he not holding Cardia, the greatest city in the Chersonese? In spite of such treatment, we hesitate one and
all, we play the coward, we keep an eye on our neighbors, distrusting one
another rather than our common foe. Yet if he treats us all with such brutality,
what do you think he will do when he has got each of us separately into his
clutches?
