“Another Resolution[In the priesthood of Cleinagoras, at the spring session, it was
resolved by the Wardens, Assessors, and General Synod that whereas the
Amphissians who have occupied the sacred territory are tilling and grazing
the same, and, when forbidden to do so, have appeared in arms and resisted
the common assembly of the Greeks by force, and have actually wounded some
of them, the general appointed by some of the Amphictyons, Cottyphus the
Arcadian, shall go as an ambassador to Philip of Macedon and request him to come to the
help of Apollo and the Amphictyons, that he may not suffer the god to be
outraged by the impious Amphissians; he shall also announce that Philip is
appointed General with full powers by the Greeks who are members of the
Assembly of the Amphictyons.]”Now read the dates of these transactions. They are all dates at which he was
or spokesman at the Congress of Thermopylae.“Record of
Dates[Archonship of
Mnesitheides, on the sixteenth of the month Anthesterion.]”
