Yes, the power and sovereignty of Macedonia is indeed, as an adjunct, no slight contribution, as you found it when on your side against Olynthus in the days of Timotheus. In 364 an Athenian force under Timotheus joined Perdiccas, king of Macedonia , in an attack on the Olynthian confederacy. On another occasion, in dealing with Potidaea , the Olynthians found its cooperation of some value; and lately it came to the help of the Thessalians in their factions and feuds against the ruling house. The accession, I suppose, even of a small force is in every way helpful; but by itself Macedonia is weak and full of defects.
