[34] And it is not only his outrages on Greece that go unavenged, but even the wrongs which each suffers separately. For nothing can go beyond that. Are not the Corinthians hit by his invasion of Ambracia and Leucas ? The Achaeans by his vow to transfer Naupactus to the Aetolians? The Thebans by his theft of Echinus ? And is he not marching even now against his¹ allies the Byzantines?

[34] οὐ μόνον δʼ ἐφʼ οἷς ἡ Ἑλλὰς ὑβρίζεται ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ, οὐδεὶς ἀμύνεται, ἀλλʼ οὐδʼ ὑπὲρ ὧν αὐτὸς ἕκαστος ἀδικεῖται· τοῦτο γὰρ ἤδη τοὔσχατόν ἐστιν. οὐ Κορινθίων ἐπʼ Ἀμβρακίαν ἐλήλυθε καὶ Λευκάδα; οὐκ Ἀχαιῶν Ναύπακτον ὀμώμοκεν Αἰτωλοῖς παραδώσειν; οὐχὶ Θηβαίων Ἐχῖνον ἀφῄρηται, καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ Βυζαντίους πορεύεται συμμάχους ὄντας;
