Fellow members of the Boulè,

As pressing as the need to our allies in Asia Minor might be, or as tempting as a target like Kydonia might be, it is my opinion that the war against Makedon is our most pressing concern. With the army of the alliance at our disposal, we surely have the strength to continue this war, and continue it succesfully.
But, let us not forget what happened only a few years ago, when the spartan strategos attacked Demetrias to rash.
I would suggest for us to bide our time, build our strength and locate the makedon armies before we strike. Once Demetrias is taken, our beloved athens will be secure and we can turn our attention to the aegean, but no sooner.
