Against Athenogenes Perseus (Hyperides. Minor Attic Orators, Vol. 2. Burtt, J. O., translator. London: William Heinemann, Ltd.; Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1954 (printing).) — 29 focus

[29] During the war against Philip he left the city just before the battle and did not serve with you at Chaeronea . Instead, he moved to Troezen , disregarding the law¹ which says that a man who moves in wartime shall be indicted and summarily arrested if he returns. The reason for the move, it seems, was this: he thought that the city of Troezen would survive, whereas he had passed a sentence of death on ours. His daughters whom he had brought up in the prosperity which you provided he married off with the intention of returning later to carry on his business when peace was established.
