[175]
The alliance
with the two kings was concluded in this manner after the fraud effected by the
convention with Cephisodotus. At that time Miltocythes had been got rid of, and
Charidemus was known by his conduct to be an enemy of Athens; for surely a man who, having got
into his power one known to him as the most loyal friend you had in all
Thrace, put him into the hands of
your enemies the Cardians, was ostentatiously displaying his great hostility
towards you.—Read the convention which Cersobleptes made later, when
he was afraid of war with the Thracians and with Athenodorus.“
