[68] After this, fellow citizens, Philip’s ambassadors arrived¹ but yours were absent, summoning the Greeks against Philip. Thereupon Demosthenes carries another resolution, in which he provides that we take counsel, not only regarding peace, but on the subject of an alliance also; and that we should do this without waiting for your ambassadors to return, but immediately after the City Dionysia, on the 18th and 19th of the month. As proof of the truth of what I say, hear the resolutions.

[68] μετὰ ταῦτα, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, ἧκον οἱ φιλίππου πρέσβεις· οἱ δὲ ὑμέτεροι¹ ἀπεδήμουν, παρακαλοῦντες τοὺς Ἕλληνας ἐπὶ Φίλιππον. ἐνταῦθʼ ἕτερον νικᾷ ψήφισμα Δημοσθένης, ἐν ᾧ γράφει μὴ μόνον ὑπὲρ εἰρήνης, ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ συμμαχίας βουλεύσασθαι, μὴ περιμείναντας τοὺς πρέσβεις τοὺς ὑμετέρους, ἀλλʼ εὐθὺς μετὰ τὰ Διονύσια τὰ ἐν ἄστει, τῇ ὀγδόῃ καὶ ἐνάτῃ ἐπὶ δέκα. ὅτι δʼ ἀληθῆ λέγω, τῶν ψηφισμάτων ἀκούσατε.

Against Ctesiphon

1. It seems that Philip’s ambassadors did not arrive in time for the discussion appointed for the 8th; but they were in Athens during at least a part of the Dionysia ( Aeschin. 3.76 ).
