[343]
Every other man will be a worse citizen, when he
sees that men who have made traffic of the common interests emerge with wealth
and reputation, and with all the advantages of Philip's friendship, while the
lot of those who approved themselves honest men and spent their money in your
service is vexation and ill-will, and the enmity of those whom I need not name.
Let it not be so! For the sake of your honor, of your religion, of your
security, of everything you value, you must not acquit this man. Visit him with
exemplary punishment, and let his fate be a warning not to our own citizens
alone but to every man who lives in the Hellenic world.
