[71]
Then having completed all these
preparations and made our purpose clear, we must lose no time in calling upon
the other Greeks, and we must inform them by sending ambassadors [in
every direction, to the Peloponnese, to
Rhodes, to Chios, to the Great King—for even
his interests are not unaffected if we prevent Philip from subduing the whole
country—] so that if you win them over, you may have someone
to share your dangers and your expenses when the time comes, or if not, that you
may at least delay the course of events.
