Excerpt from The Two Orations on the Crown
This occurred in the year 336, a few days before Philip's death, but the trial remained suspended for more than six years, and was not taken up until the year 330. The cause of the delay has not been explained. Perhaps the prosecutor waited for the most favorable time to bring the trial on, and Ctesiphon and his friends might naturally not be averse to delay.
Be the reason what it might, nothing was done until after the battles of Issus and Arbela, when Alexander, having conquered the Persians, was preparing to advance to the Indus. The moment was judged favorable, and the cause began before a jury of five hundred dicasts, or jurors.
