F. A. Paley, Select Private Orations of Demosthenes

τοῖς πράγμασιν The facts of the case rather than the mere assertions of himself and his witnesses. — συνεστῶσι, ‘packed’; see § 39.

τῷ πιθανωτάτῳ πάντων...καὶ πονηροτάτῳ Alliterative as in 34 § 6 πρᾶγμα ποιεῖ πάντων.]

τῷ—κλαήσειν ‘In his being ready to cry.’ This use of the future (τὸ ποιήσειν facturum esse, &c.) belongs to the later Attic, the Ionic form in -ήσω of κλαίω, or κλάω, common in the earlier dialect (τυπτήσω, χαιρήσω, βαλλήσω, &c.), being retained.

μηδὲν ὑποστελλόμενον Mid. § 70 τῷ μηδὲν ὑποστειλαμένῳ πρὸς ὕβριν. The term is perhaps military or nautical [cf. Phil. i § 51 p. 123 ed. Sandys]; probably the former, in reference to the withdrawal of troops. The origin of the phrase is however rather obscure. Hesych. ὐποστειλάμενος: ὑποκρυψάμενος, φοβηθείς.—ὑποστέλλεσθαι: ἀναδύεσθαι, δολιεύεσθαι, ὑποκρίνεσθαι. — ὑποστέλλεται: φοβεῖται, καὶ τἀ ὁμοια. In De Fals. Leg. p. 415 μετὰ παρρησίας διαλεχθῆναι μηδὲν ὑποστελλόμενον clearly means “without any reserve.” Cf. Eur. Orest. 607, ἐπεὶ θρασύνει κοὔχ ὑποστέλλει λόγῳ. Possibly the primary idea was the ‘tucking under’ or ‘cloaking over,’ and so hiding something worn on the person. ‘Relying on the whining face and the tears that he can assume so recklessly and so impudently.’ Kennedy.
