Notes on the current edition
Panegyricus
1.
Above all, the Treaty or Peace of Antalcidas,
387 B.C. Cf.
Isoc. 4.120 ff.
Xen. Hell. 5.1.31
, quotes from this treaty: “King Artaxerxes thinks it just that the cities in
Asia
, and the islands of Clazomene and
Cyprus
, shall belong to him. He thinks it just also to leave all the other cities autonomous, both small and great—except
Lemnos
, Imbros, and Scyros, which are to belong to
Athens
, as they did originally. Should any parties refuse to accept this peace, I will make war upon them, along with those who are of the same mind, by land as well as by sea, with ships and with money” (Trans. by Grote,
Hist. ix. p. 212). See General Introduction. p. xliii, and introduction to
Panegyricus.
