So I got them
away from Athens, but quite against
their will, as you will easily learn from their subsequent behavior. When we had
arrived at Oreus and joined Proxenus, instead of obeying their instructions and
proceeding by sea, they started on a roundabout tour. We had wasted

consumed by the journey, fifty days in all, until the arrival of Philip, we were
dawdling at Pella.
