[24] Olympias has made complaints against you about the incident at Dodona ,¹ complaints which are unfair, as I have twice already proved in the Assembly before yourselves and the rest of Athens . I explained to her envoys that the charges she brings against the city are not justified. For Zeus of Dodona commanded you through the oracle to embellish the statue of Dione.
