2. Ἰλλυριοὺς καὶ Τρι- βαλλοὺς: Diodorus (XVI. 69) mentions a victorious inroad of Philip into Illyria in 344 B.C., and Porphyrius Tyr. (Müller, Hist. Gr. III. p. 691) says of Philip, οὗτος τοὺς περὶ τὴν χώραν ἅπαντας ἐδουλώσατο πολεμίους, μεγάλην κτησάμενος δύναμιν, καὶ Τριβαλλοὺς ὑποτάξας.

3. Ἑλλήνων: see Grote XI. 612— 614, and Hist. §§ 41, 46—49.—δυνάμεις, like our forces, but including allies (even without troops): see § 234.1.

4. τῶν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων: he counts Aesch. as one of those who took advantage of the peace to visit Macedonia, implying that the process of corruption was still going on. In XIX. 13 he says he first discovered the corruption of Aesch. on the return of the first embassy in the spring of 346 B.C.

8. ἕτερος λόγος οὗτος, this is another matter: cf. ἄλλος ἂν εἴη λόγος οὗτος, IX. 16: ἄλλος ἂν ἦν λόγος, [XIII.] 7.
