[20] Wait till they send the Athenian people some injunctions which are unjust or inappropriate. Then is the time for you to get up and oppose them in the interests of your city, disputing the cause of justice with their envoys and resorting to the Congress of the Greeks¹ as the champion of your country. But you never stood up or spoke about them there; it is only here that you hate Olympias
