Philip's 'serious attack' on Olynthus. Placing Philip's i1 ness some

hardly reasonable to assign to the interval between Philip's recovery

six months. He would then place the attack in the last quarter of 01.

850 5. 0. , and the delivery of 01. i in the latter half of that year. But the
attack mentioned in the text is the same as that in 4 ? 17, and is therefore
earlier than the delivery of that speech (in 851 11. 0. ) Unger (Zeitfolge der
vier erstcn Dem. Reden), placing Ol. iin Feb. 351 n. c. , implies that the attack
on Olynthus was in the immediately previous winter or the previous
summer, the very time when Philip was fully occupied in Thrace. These
opinions are refuted by Baran zur Chronologie der Euboe'isclwn Kr'icges pp.
