[222]
To these
straits had my policy, Aeschines, reduced Philip: and such was then the language
uttered by a man who had hitherto lifted his voice vauntingly against Athens. And for that reason I was
deservedly decorated by the citizens. You were present, but said nothing in
opposition; and Diondas, who arraigned the grant, did not get the fifth part of
the votes. Please read the decrees which were then by that acquittal validated,
and which Aeschines never even arraigned.“
