Events

The Peace of Philocrates is signed between Macedonia and Athens. The document agrees to a return to the status-quo, but Philip II of Macedon keeps the right to punish the Phocians for starting the Sacred War.
The Athenian politicians, Demosthenes and Timarchus, prepare to prosecute Aeschines for treason after he has sought to reconcile the Athenians to Macedonia's expansion into Greece. Eubulus loses his influence on Athenian affairs.
Demosthenes, though condemning the terms of the Peace of Philocrates, argues that it has to be honoured.
Following the conclusion of the Peace of Philocrates, Philip II's army moves through the pass of Thermopylae and subdues Phocis. Athens makes no move to support the Phocians.
