[121]
But why need one talk about the
other instances? Take Philip, who is now accounted our very worst enemy. At the
time when, having caught some of our citizens in the act of trying to restore
Argaeus, he released them and made good all their losses, when he professed in a
written message that he was ready to form an alliance with us, and to renew his
ancestral amity, if at that time he had asked us for this favour, and if one of
the men he had released had proposed that “whoever shall kill
Philip” should be liable to seizure, a fine insult we should have had
to swallow!
