But with regard to his temperance, his justice, his disinterestedness, his sincerity, his magnanimity, his clemency, which rendered him truly great, these were vir- tues which Philip did not acquire by imitation. 11. The Thebans did not know that they were then forming and educating the most dangerous enemy of Greece, After iPhilip had spent nine or ten years in their city, the news of a revolution in Macedon made him resolve to leave- Thebes clan- destinely. Accordingly he stole away, made the... utmost expe- dition, and found the Macedonians greatly surprised at having lost their king Perdiccas, who had been killed in a great battle by the lUyrians; but much more so, to find they had as many enemies as neighbours. 12. The Illyrians were on the point of retiu-ning into the kingdom with a much greater force ; ^he Paeonians infested it with perpetual incursions ; the Thracians were determined to place Pausanias on the throne, who had not abandoned his pretensions; and the Athenians were bringing Argseus, whom Mantios, their general, was ordered to support with a strong fleet and a considerable body of troops.
