[105]
Even so today, if
you do not annul this decree, the kings and their commanders will be immensely
discouraged. They will regard themselves as altogether slighted, and will
imagine that your favour is inclining towards Cersobleptes. Now suppose that on
this assumption they surrender their royalty, whenever Cersobleptes seizes
opportunity and attacks them; and again observe what will happen.—
