[166]
Take
next the period of our loitering at Pella, and compare the employments which we severally chose for
ourselves. Mine was to seek out and rescue the captives, spending money of my
own, and asking Philip to apply to their ransom the money he was spending on
hospitable gifts for us. But what Aeschines constantly tried to effect, you
shall hear in a moment. What then was it? It was that Philip should give us a
lump sum as a collective present.
