[n] {21} For, as it is, though the Thebanshave gained something so far as the recovery of their territory is concerned, their honour and reputation have suffered shamefully, since it now appears asthough they would have gained nothing, unless Philip had crossed the Pass. Thiswas not what they intended. They only submitted to all this in their anxiety toobtain Orchomenus and Coroneia, and their inability to do so otherwise. {22} Andas to Philip, some persons, [n] as you know, are bold enough to ...say that it wasnot from any wish to do so that he handed over Orchomenus and Coroneia toThebes, but from compulsion; and although I must part company with them there, Iam sure that at least he did not want to do this _more_ than he desired tooccupy the passes, and to get the credit of appearing to have determined theissue of the war, and to manage the Pythian games by his own authority. These, Iam sure, were the objects which he coveted most greedily. {23} The Thessalians, again, did not desire to see either the Thebans or Philip growing powerful; forin any such contingency they thought that they themselves were menaced.
