[327]
Instead of the re-establishment of
ancient rites in the Temple of Apollo, and the restitution of treasure to the
god, men who were once Amphictyons are fugitives and exiles, and men who never
in all former time were members of it, Macedonians and barbarians, are now
forcing their way into the Amphictyonic Council. If anyone says a word about the
sacred treasure, he is thrown down the precipice; and Athens is robbed of her precedence in the
consultation of the Oracle.
