ἐπὶ Θεοφίλου ἄρχοντος Nicobulus set sail in the spring of B. C. 347, in the ninth month of the Attic year (corresponding to the second half of March and the first half of April). S.] εἰς τὸν Πόντον For the purpose of trading, as appears from § 10. τὰ πραχθέντα—πρὸς See inf. § 19. [The Dat. of the Agent is much less frequent with the Aor. than with the Perf. Passive of πράττω. It is found however in § 9 and in 36 § 3 τὰ πραχθέντα τούτῳ. It is due to a desire for symmetry of form in 23 § 48 ἵν᾽ ὅτῳ ποτὲ τοὔργον ἐπράχθη, τούτῳ τὰ ἐκ τῶν νόμων ὑπῆρχε δίκαια. Cf. note on Dem. Ol. 1 § 28, p. 155 ed. Sandys.] ἐκπεσεῖν ὑπ᾽ ἐκείνου ‘That he was ejected from the tenancy (lease) of the works by Evergus.’ ἐκπεσεῖν is commonly used as passive of ἐκβαλεῖν. Cf. infr. § 59 ἐκβαλεῖν—ἐκπίπτειν. πρὸς τὸ δημόσιον These words are rather obscure. We cannot construe τῆς ἐγγραφῆς πρὸς τὸ δ. ‘of being registered as a debtor to the state,’ nor is αἴτιον πρός τι a common idiom. Perhaps the words are opposed to the ίδία βλάβη, ‘in a public point of view.’ We have, however, γράφειν μίσθωσιν πρός τινα, § 10. [περὶ and ὑπὲρ τῶν πρὸς τὸ δημόσιον occur in 24 § 193 and 58 § 20 respectively.] ἐγγραφῆς Cf. 25 § 70 οἱ νόμοι καθ᾽ οὓς ἐγγράφονται πάντες οἱ ὀφλισκάνοντες. ib. 28 ἐγγραφῇ θεσμοθετῶν.]
