Against Aristocrates
One of the towns seized by Charidemus in Asia.
He had taken and given pledges, but he ignored and broke his oaths, and, finding the inhabitants of the country, who thought they were dealing with a friend, off their guard, he seized their towns, Scepsis, Cebren, and Ilium.
Hellenica
Strong Aeolian city seized by Meidias and later liberated by Dercylidas, who publicly interrogates Meidias there.
When he had done these things, he seized the strong cities of Scepsis and Gergis, where Mania had kept the most of her treasure.
And Dercylidas, when he had sacrificed to Athena on the acropolis of Scepsis, led forth Meidias’ garrison, gave over the city to the citizens, and then, after exhorting them to order their public life as Greeks and freemen should, departed from the city and led his army against Gergis.
Just where it is most proper that you should dwell, Meidias, —in your native city, Scepsis, and in your father’s house.
