προσεκείμεθα ‘We became more urgent in our demand of payment.’ Kennedy. ἠνωχλοῦμεν] ὀχληροὶ ἐγιγνόμεθα, ‘when we began to be very pressing.’ [ἐνωχλοῦμεν, with the single augment, is the reading of S, and similarly ἐνώχλει in Ol. 3 § 5 (see note on p. 191 ed. Sandys). ἐνοχλεῖν is also found in Or. 43 and Or. 48, attributed by Uhle, i 104, to the same writer as the present speech.] ἁδελφὸς ὁ Ἀ. See sup. § 19. δίκαιόν τι λέγειν ‘That he could say something to prove it was all right.’ This is bitter satire on the Sophist and the Professor of eloquence. Kennedy hardly expresses this:—‘and Lacritus said he could assign good ground of excuse.’ [Cf. § 49.]
Select Private Orations of Demosthenes, Part I. F. A. Paley, M.A., LL.D., and J. E. Sandys, Litt. D. 1898. Cambridge University Press.
