95.
About the same time, at the beginning of this
winter, Sitalces, son of Teres, the Odrysian king of Thrace, made an
expedition against Perdiccas, son of Alexander, king of Macedonia, and the
Chalcidians in the neighborhood of Thrace; his object being to enforce one promise and fulfil another.
[2]
On the one hand Perdiccas had made him a promise, when hard pressed at the
commencement of the war, upon condition that Sitalces should reconcile the
Athenians to him and not attempt to restore his brother and enemy, the
pretender Philip, but had not offered to fulfil his engagement; on the other he, Sitalces, on entering into alliance with the Athenians,
had agreed to put an end to the Chalcidian war in Thrace.
[3]
These were the two objects of his invasion.
With him he brought Amyntas, the son of Philip, whom he destined for the
throne of Macedonia, and some Athenian envoys then at his court on this
business, and Hagnon as general; for the Athenians were to join him against the Chalcidians with a fleet and
as many soldiers as they could get together.
