[57]
And yet it is just this that rouses
my indignation, that some of you should be distressed at the prospect of the
plunder of your wealth, when you are quite competent to protect it and to punish
any offender, but that you are not distressed at the sight of Philip thus
plundering every Greek state in turn, the more so as he is plundering them to
injure you.
