For what sort of conduct was it, to destroy the objects for the possession of which the contest was waged, and thereby leave nothing to himself but fighting?
Philip had, in the last year, desolated more cities of his allies in Thessaly, than all the enemies that Thessaly ever had.

On the Aetolians themselves he had made greater depredations, when he was in alliance with them, than since he became their enemy.

He had seized on Lysimachia, after dislodging the praetor and garrison of the Aetolians.

Cius also, a city belonging to their government, he razed from the foundation.

With the same injustice he held possession of Thebes in Phthiotis, of Echinus, Larissa, and Pharsalus." 34.
