the men,1 I say, who told you
that I, being a water-drinker, was naturally a disagreeable, cross-grained
fellow, and that Philip, if he got through the Pass, would do just what you
would pray for, would fortify Thespiae
and Plataea, and humble the Theban
pride, and dig a trench across the Chersonese2 at his own charges, and
restore to you Euboea and Oropus in
lieu of Amphipolis. All this was
said from this very platform, as I am sure you recollect, although you are not
remarkable for keeping in mind those who injure you.
1 Aeschines and, in particular, Philocrates (Dem. 19.46).
2 To protect the Greek cities from the raids of the Thracians.
