[174]
And now I ask you to look at the
acts of Aeschines and those of Philocrates, in comparison with mine; for the
contrast will help to expose them. First, in violation both of the decree and of
assurances given to you, they excluded the Halians, the Phocians, and
Cersobleptes, from the benefits of the treaty. Then they attempted to tamper
with and repeal the decree from which our own authority was derived. Next they
entered the Cardians as allies of Philip, and refused by a definite vote to send
a dispatch written by me, but themselves composed and sent one that did not
contain an honest word.
