[145]
That is what the
peace has brought to the city: you could not easily invent anything more
dishonorable. What has it brought to the ambassadors who contrived that
dishonor? I say nothing of the wealth that lies before your

there are estates and extensive farms bringing in a rental of a talent to
Philocrates and half a talent to Aeschines.
