Aeschines Against Ctesiphon 128

As general they chose Cottyphus of Pharsalus, who was at the time president of the Amphictyons. Philip was not in Macedonia at that time, nor in Hellas , but in Scythia—so far away as that! And yet presently Demosthenes will dare to say that it was I who brought him against Hellas !
