[171]
At the election of magistrates you
appointed Chabrias to command in that campaign; but unluckily Athenodorus
disbanded his army, because he had no money from you, and no resources for
carrying on war; and Chabrias started on his expedition with only one ship. And
how does this man Charidemus turn his coat? He repudiates his sworn covenant
with Athenodorus, persuades Cersobleptes to disclaim it, and proposes new terms
to Chabrias,—terms more monstrous than those made with Cephisodotus.
Chabrias was obliged to acquiesce, I suppose because he had no force at his
back.
