Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 68 (search)
Surely no man will dare to call it becoming that in a man reared at Pella, then a mean and insignificant city,
such lofty ambition should be innate as to covet the dominion of all Greece, and admit that aspiration to his soul,

Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 169 (search)
Let me now
tell you how many of the captives I ransomed myself. For while we were staying
at Pella, before Philip's arrival,
some of the prisoners,—all in fact who were out on
bail,—having, I suppose, no confidence that they would afterwards be
able to induce Philip to move, told me that they were willing to provide for
their own ransom without putting themselves under obligation to Philip, and
offered to borrow their ransom-money, three minas, five minas, or as the case
might
