ὃν δὲ τρόπον, φράσω πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐγώ. ἦλθον ὡς αὐτὸν πρέσβεις ἐκ Θηβῶν ὅτε περ καὶ παρʼ ὑμῶν ἡμεῖς ἦμεν ἐκεῖ. τούτοις χρήματʼ ἐκεῖνος ἐβούλετο δοῦναι, καὶ πάνυ γʼ, ὡς ἔφασαν, πολλά. οὐκ ἐδέξαντʼ οὐδʼ ἔλαβον ταῦθʼ οἱ τῶν Θηβαίων πρέσβεις. μετὰ ταῦτʼ ἐν θυσίᾳ τινὶ καὶ δείπνῳ πίνων καὶ φιλανθρωπευόμενος πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ Φίλιππος ἄλλα τε δὴ πολλά, οἷον αἰχμάλωτα καὶ τοιαῦτα, καὶ τελευτῶν ἐκπώματʼ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ προὔπινεν αὐτοῖς. πάντα ταῦτʼ ἐκεῖνοι διεωθοῦντο καὶ οὐδαμῇ προΐενθʼ αὑτούς.
