81 afterwards, this prince recovered his affairs, and came with a large army to lay siege to Athens. 4. The Athenians, persuaded that they had no pardon to expect from Demetrius, determined to die sword in hand, and passed a decree, which condemned to death those who should first propose to surrender to that prince ; but they did not re- collect that there was but little corn in the city, and that they would in a short time be in want of bread. 5. Want soon made them sensible of their error ; a...nd, after having suffered hunger for a long time, the most reasonable among them said, " It would be better that Demetrius should kill us at once, than for us to die by the lingering death of famine. Perhaps he will have pity on our wives and children. " They then opened to him the gates of the city. 6. Demetrius having taken possession of the city, ordered that all the married men should assemble in a spacious place appointed for the purpose, and that the soldiery, sword in hand, should surround them.
