ὅτι μέν, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, Φίλιππος οὐκ ἐποιήσατο τὴν εἰρήνην πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἀλλʼ ἀνεβάλετο τὸν πόλεμον, πᾶσιν ὑμῖν φανερὸν γέγονεν· ἐπειδὴ γὰρ Φαρσαλίοις Ἅλον παρέδωκε καὶ τὰ περὶ Φωκέας διῳκήσατο καὶ τὴν Θρᾴκην κατεστρέψατο πᾶσαν, αἰτίας οὐκ οὔσας πλασάμενος καὶ προφάσεις ἀδίκους ἐξευρὼν τῷ μὲν ἔργῳ πάλαι πολεμεῖ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν, τῷ δὲ λόγῳ νῦν ὁμολογεῖ διὰ τῆς ἐπιστολῆς ἧς ἔπεμψεν·
