Observe in
conclusion that, apart from all other reasons, the conviction of this man is
eminently desirable in view of your future relations with Philip. For if Philip
ever finds himself under the necessity of treating Athens with common justice, he will have to
remodel his methods. At present his chosen policy is to cheat the many and court
the few; but, when he learns that his favorites have been brought to ruin, he
will wish for the future to deal with the many, who are the real masters of our
state.
