You observe,
men of Athens, how full the decree
is of compliments and fine phrases; that it provides that the peace, and also
the alliance, made with Philip shall be extended to his posterity; and that
thanks are given to Philip for his promise of just dealings. But it was not
Philip who had made any promises; so far from promising he says that he does not
know what to do to oblige you.
