Cf. Isoc. 15.316. among us as friends of oligarchy,Cf. Isoc. 15.318. realizing that no man is by nature either the one or the other but that all men desire, in each case, to establish that form of government in which they are held in honor.

Diodorus (xv. 95) says of him: τοὺς συμμάχους ἀδικῶν διετέλει. Cf. Aristot. Rh. 3.17: Ἰσοκράτης κατηγορεῖ Χάρητος ἐν τῷ συμμαχικῷ. and not to exercise our leadership as masters but as helpers,Cf. Isoc. 4.80. since we have learned the lesson that while we are stronger than any single state we are weaker than all Hellas.
