1. ἑώρων continues the construction of ὃς συνῄδειν (§ 66.5). 2. ὑπὲρ...δυναστείας, contrasted with ὑπὲρ...συμφερόντων in § 66.9. δυναστεία is properly a government of force, not based on the popular will; see § 270.5. Cf. Arist. Pol. VI. (IV.) 5, 2. But Demosth. uses δυναστείας in § 322.7 of the power of Athens. It is generally, however, an odious term. 3. τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν ἐκκεκομμένον, had had his eye knocked out, passive of the active form ἐκκόπτει τις αὐτῷ τὸν ὀφθαλμόν, retaining the accus. of the thing. The following κατεαγότα is passive in sense, and has the same construction. Cf. ἀποτμηθέντες τὰς κεφαλάς, Xen. An. II. 6, 1, representing ἀπέτεμον αὐτοῖς τὰς κεφαλάς (G. 1239, with examples). 6. προϊέμενον, i.e. always ready to sacrifice, followed by ὅ τι βουληθείη.
