Does anyone have an idea of how much money Alexander offered Phokion, the governor of Athens? (Phokion turned it down, and also turned down a bribe from the Macedonian garrison commander Menyllus). Thanks for your help.

Thanks Linda. I kind of thought that was the amount (must have read it before) but wasn't sure.
