[164]
Now what, men of Athens, was the conduct proper for a really
single-minded and friendly person, after the arrival of a
commander,—not one of those men whom he might have called jealous of
himself, but the recipient of his letter, a man whom he had chosen out of all
Athens as his special
friend,—with Cotys in his grave, and himself in supreme power? Was it
not to restore your territory there and then? To cooperate with you in
establishing the king of Thrace? To
embrace the opportunity of exhibiting his friendly disposition towards you I
should say, yes.
