Philip bade him speak out,
declaring with the easy generosity of youth that there was nothing he would not
do for him. Thereupon Satyrus told him that Apollophanes of Pydna had been a friend of his, and that

daughters, who were then children, to Olynthus. These girls had been made captive when the town was
taken, and were now in Philip's hands, and of marriageable age.
