“Another
Decree[In the archonship
of Heropythus, on the thirtieth of the month Munychion, on the advice of the
Commander-in-chief: whereas Philip aims at setting the Thebans at variance
with us, and has prepared to march with all his forces to the parts nearest
to Attica, violating his existing
arrangements with us, be it resolved by the Council and People to send a
herald and ambassadors to request and exhort him to conclude an armistice,
in order that the People may decide according to circumstances; for even now
the People have not decided to send a force if they can obtain reasonable
terms. The following were chosen from the Council: Nearchus, son of
Sosinomus, Polycrates, son of Epiphron; and as herald from the People,
Eunomus of Anaphlystus.]”
