[178]
I have proved that he is to blame for your refusal to hear the
truth from me, captivated as you then were by his promises and assurances; that
his counsels were exactly opposed to right policy; that he spoke against the
terms of peace proposed by our allies, and in favor of the proposals of
Philocrates; that he purposely wasted your time to debar you from going to the
aid of the Phocians if you should so desire; that throughout his journey abroad
his sins were many and grievous; that he has betrayed everything, sold
everything, taken bribes, and stopped short of no iniquity. That, then, is what
I undertook to prove; and that is what I have proved.
