But
the crowning absurdity, I think, is that, though I sent ambassadors from all my
allies to attend as witnesses, and was willing to come to a just agreement with
you in the interests of the Greek world, you turned a deaf ear to the

the fears of those who attributed sinister motives to me, or else have proved me
beyond all doubt the most worthless of mankind.
