[326] Instead of the surrender to you of Euboea in exchange for Amphipolis , Philip is establishing positions in Euboea as a base of attack upon you, and is constantly plotting against Geraestus and Megara . Instead of recovering Oropus, we are making an armed expedition to secure Drymus¹ and the district of Panactus,² an operation in which we never engaged so long as the Phocians were safe.
