[90] Hear now the letter which Chares sent to the people at the time, saying that Cersobleptes had lost his kingdom and that Philip had taken Hieron Oros¹ on the twenty-fourth of Elaphebolion. And it was Demosthenes, one of the ambassadors, who was presiding in the assembly here on the twenty-fifth of that month.

[90] ἀκούσατε δὴ τῆς Χάρητος ἐπιστολῆς, ἣν ἐπέστειλε τότε τῷ δήμῳ, ὅτι Κερσοβλέπτης ἀπολώλεκε τὴν ἀρχὴν καὶ Ἱερὸν ὄρος κατείληφε Φίλιππος Ἐλαφηβολιῶνος μηνὸς ἑβδόμῃ¹ φθίνοντος· Δημοσθένης δʼ ἐν τῷ δήμῳ προήδρευε τούτου τοῦ μηνός, εἷς ὢν τῶν πρέσβεων, ἕκτῃ² φθίνοντος.
