These
atrocities moved the whole population of Thrace to resentment; Berisades and Amadocus made a coalition;
and Athenodorus, recognizing a favorable opportunity, formed alliance with them,
and so was in a position to make war. Then Cersobleptes took fright, and
Athenodorus proposed a convention, under which he compelled Cersobleptes to make
a sworn engagement with you and with the other princes that the kingdom of
Thrace should be held in common,
and divided among the three, and that they should all restore to you your
territory.
