[295]
At a time when Philip's resources were
feeble and very small indeed, when we were constantly warning, exhorting,
admonishing them for the best, these men flung away their national prosperity
for private and selfish gain; they cajoled and corrupted all the citizens within
their grasp, until they had reduced them to slavery. So the Thessalians were
treated by Daochus, Cineas, Thrasydaus, the Arcadians by Cercidas, Hieronymus,
Eucampidas, the Argives by Myrtis, Teledamus, Mnaseas, the Eleians by Euxitheus,
Cleotimus, Aristaechmus, the Messenians by the sons of that god-forsaken
Philiades, Neon and Thrasylochus, the Sicyonians by Aristratus and Epichares,
the Corinthians by Deinarchus and Demaretus, the Megarians by Ptoeodorus,
Helixus, Perilaus, the Thebans by Timolaus, Theogeiton, Anemoetas, the Euboeans
by Hipparchus, Cleitarchus, and Sosistratus.
