[133]
Now suppose, men
of Athens, that Cersobleptes also,
having his power enhanced by the immunity that is being procured for Charidemus,
should disdain that man, and initiate plots and disturbances against
you,—are you content, as long as Charidemus is misled, to have
furnished the Thracian with strength to fight you? I hope not! Here is the view
that I think the just one: if Charidemus makes it his business to get these
decrees, after perceiving and foreseeing that peril, you must distrust him as an
intriguer.
